1
00:00:01,834 --> 00:00:04,600
Tonight,
the fight is on.

2
00:00:08,767 --> 00:00:10,867
We're going to war
it looks like...

3
00:00:13,233 --> 00:00:16,300
Kris is about ready
to get his ass kicked.

4
00:00:19,133 --> 00:00:23,000
These miners
are in for the battle
of their lives.

5
00:00:33,567 --> 00:00:38,300
On the Bering Sea,
a battle is brewing
between a heavyweight

6
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,066
and a scrappy challenger.

7
00:00:45,634 --> 00:00:47,867
Kris Kelly idiot.

8
00:00:51,233 --> 00:00:54,100
waste
my [bleep] time with

9
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:55,667
this stupid

10
00:00:57,734 --> 00:01:00,634
He's gonna mine here,
right where we're set up?

11
00:01:00,634 --> 00:01:05,100
After I've done all this work,
finding the gold,
he's out of his mind.

12
00:01:06,533 --> 00:01:09,533
Kris Kelly and tattoo
face, they are gonna get

13
00:01:09,533 --> 00:01:12,200
a rude awakening
about who I am.

14
00:01:13,033 --> 00:01:14,400
Here we go.

15
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,667
Yay!

16
00:01:17,967 --> 00:01:21,033
Our operator,
James, has permission
to work on Tomcod.

17
00:01:21,033 --> 00:01:23,667
We're gonna go
where the gold is.

18
00:01:23,667 --> 00:01:26,433
I don't give a damn
what Shawn Pomrenke
thinks about it.

19
00:01:34,934 --> 00:01:38,467
This [bleep] stands
right now.

20
00:01:39,033 --> 00:01:40,567
You can't do this.

21
00:01:40,567 --> 00:01:42,000
I'm gonna knock you.

22
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,567
I can't hear you,
you stupid

23
00:01:44,567 --> 00:01:45,867
knock you off.

24
00:01:45,867 --> 00:01:47,600
You know, you think
you can raise
your voice

25
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,834
reach that far,
you [bleep] idiot.

26
00:01:49,834 --> 00:01:51,900
Read the [bleep] regulation.

27
00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:54,066
You got to
right next door.

28
00:01:54,066 --> 00:01:56,467
You need to read regulations.

29
00:01:56,467 --> 00:01:57,800
You baring regulation.

30
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:58,867
You [bleep]...

31
00:01:58,867 --> 00:02:00,133
Read the [bleep] rules.

32
00:02:00,133 --> 00:02:01,333
You're right next to us.

33
00:02:01,333 --> 00:02:04,533
Read the [bleep] rules, idiot.

34
00:02:04,533 --> 00:02:06,000
I got you
like that.

35
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,333
I did not do.

36
00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:09,166
- I've got you on lot camera
and video too.
- Pull your permit.

37
00:02:09,166 --> 00:02:10,767
Get the

38
00:02:11,967 --> 00:02:14,667
Well, I can't hear you, you

39
00:02:14,667 --> 00:02:15,900
Boop.

40
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:17,000
Bo-boho.

41
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,233
Real [bleep] funny,
you stupid [bleep].

42
00:02:20,233 --> 00:02:22,567
I'm gonna get your permit
pulled, you...

43
00:02:22,567 --> 00:02:24,133
Take it
You don't get that.

44
00:02:24,133 --> 00:02:25,300
Read the rule.

45
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:26,433
You read 'em.
I was here first.

46
00:02:26,433 --> 00:02:27,767
You don't know
how to read.

47
00:02:27,767 --> 00:02:29,600
I was here [bleep] first.

48
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,300
You are digging.

49
00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:32,667
Yes, we were.

50
00:02:32,667 --> 00:02:36,867
You [bleep] come
and mark our spot
and jump on us, you

51
00:02:36,867 --> 00:02:38,066
You're a [bleep] liar.

52
00:02:38,066 --> 00:02:39,967
You're gonna go down, Kris.

53
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,967
Let's do this.

54
00:02:46,133 --> 00:02:48,000
idiot.

55
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,433
They've come
and marked our spot
and jump on us.

56
00:02:52,433 --> 00:02:54,000
stupid.

57
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,734
Shawn's just a hillbilly.

58
00:02:55,734 --> 00:02:57,934
He's trying to tell me
about regulations.

59
00:02:57,934 --> 00:03:00,300
You know, the guy just
goes way over there.

60
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:02,266
Hey, what the
would he even know.

61
00:03:05,233 --> 00:03:06,634
Yeah, baby.

62
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:12,066
Okay.

63
00:03:12,066 --> 00:03:13,767
Make that gold.

64
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,700
We're gonna keep going.

65
00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:18,333
And no one's gonna stop us.

66
00:03:21,767 --> 00:03:23,600
so tired of that.

67
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,900
Kris [bleep] telling.

68
00:03:37,333 --> 00:03:43,066
I see a lot of gold,
big chunky beads in
and a lot of flour.

69
00:03:43,066 --> 00:03:46,634
I don't know
how much gold we have,
but I know we got gold.

70
00:03:46,634 --> 00:03:48,233
I know we got gold.

71
00:03:48,233 --> 00:03:49,967
Come on, baby.
We got gold.

72
00:03:49,967 --> 00:03:51,066
We're in it.

73
00:03:55,433 --> 00:03:56,967
Yeah, they're out of their
element now.

74
00:03:56,967 --> 00:03:58,400
They need to back off.

75
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:00,767
You're on my bouy.

76
00:04:00,767 --> 00:04:03,266
I'll [bleep] sink that
bitch in a heartbeat.

77
00:04:15,967 --> 00:04:18,567
We'll just keep digging
and [bleep] or what?

78
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,634
I don't need this
right now.

79
00:04:28,166 --> 00:04:29,634
They think
this is their ocean.

80
00:04:29,634 --> 00:04:30,767
I don't think so.

81
00:04:30,767 --> 00:04:32,166
I'm here to stay.

82
00:04:39,367 --> 00:04:40,667
Go.

83
00:04:41,667 --> 00:04:42,900
Yeah.

84
00:04:44,767 --> 00:04:46,600
Just back out of there.

85
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,834
Just don't...

86
00:04:47,834 --> 00:04:50,934
Let's not [bleep],
around here.

87
00:04:51,967 --> 00:04:53,834
So, I'll just...

88
00:04:59,767 --> 00:05:01,233
They're leaving now.

89
00:05:01,233 --> 00:05:03,333
Yeah!
Yeah!

90
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,300
- He just tried to throw
his weight against us.
- Yeah.

91
00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:09,934
And we're the [bleep] wall
you cannot smash.

92
00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:13,967
You know,
Shawn's realized that his...

93
00:05:13,967 --> 00:05:17,634
his [bleep] all-star team
is [bleep] half the team
we got.

94
00:05:17,634 --> 00:05:22,233
The Kris team rose
and everybody associated
with it isn't afraid.

95
00:05:23,233 --> 00:05:25,133
They tucked tail and ran.

96
00:05:25,133 --> 00:05:26,367
That's what I like.

97
00:05:26,367 --> 00:05:28,166
Watch them [bleep] retreat.

98
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:32,000
I put them back out there
on some sand.

99
00:05:39,066 --> 00:05:41,900
I made it.
Now no one's gonna stop me.

100
00:05:43,634 --> 00:05:45,433
Yeah.
Some [bleep] up.

101
00:05:52,934 --> 00:05:54,367
Just pisses me off.

102
00:05:55,634 --> 00:05:57,800
Bering Sea
is no place to be
messing around

103
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,000
with heavy equipment.

104
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,200
I ain't putting my crew
or my equipment at risk.

105
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,033
I'm gonna work
on getting their
authorization pulled.

106
00:06:05,033 --> 00:06:08,333
But right now,
I need to concentrate
on making gold.

107
00:06:08,333 --> 00:06:10,934
I can't lose sight of that.

108
00:06:10,934 --> 00:06:13,634
Kris Kelly and his little
excavator toy,

109
00:06:14,834 --> 00:06:16,467
he'll be his own
worst enemy.

110
00:06:16,467 --> 00:06:17,533
Trust me.

111
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,333
I don't [bleep] need this
right now.

112
00:06:23,333 --> 00:06:25,500
I don't.

113
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:30,400
stress the
out and got enough
to worry about.

114
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,700
And little Willie's weasly
ass and [bleep] Kris Kelly
and Kevin.

115
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:40,200
Now, I might as well finish
this hole out

116
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,300
and then we'll
step ahead.

117
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:45,867
I'm not gonna
worry about these guys
right now.

118
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,467
I want to punch
Kris Kelly in the face.

119
00:06:59,934 --> 00:07:02,533
And spray him
with a little bit of mace.

120
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,100
So,
it's over for the day.

121
00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:09,767
I'm not saying
we won the battle

122
00:07:09,767 --> 00:07:12,567
because I'm sure
something will come
from this later on.

123
00:07:12,567 --> 00:07:16,533
But it's probably
the beginning
of a very long [bleep] year.

124
00:07:28,033 --> 00:07:30,900
As a new day
dawns on the Bering Sea,

125
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:35,567
the battle moves
from within the fleet
to a fight with Mother Nature.

126
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,100
In less than 24 hours,
the first major storm
of the summer

127
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:43,834
will descend on Nome.

128
00:07:46,066 --> 00:07:51,133
Forcing the miners off
the water until it passes.

129
00:07:51,133 --> 00:07:57,567
So now it's imperative
to cash in while the window
of opportunity remains open.

130
00:08:03,667 --> 00:08:05,200
And in the harbor...

131
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,100
So, we're ready
to go do some judging.

132
00:08:07,100 --> 00:08:08,166
Oh, yeah.

133
00:08:08,166 --> 00:08:09,233
I'm ready.

134
00:08:09,233 --> 00:08:10,600
All right.

135
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,600
One captain
is looking to harvest
his kingdom

136
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,200
while the getting's good.

137
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,467
Okay,
I'm gonna power into it.

138
00:08:17,467 --> 00:08:20,000
Hold on to it.
Don't let it bite your hand.

139
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,734
Claim 56 of the products
claim in Nome.

140
00:08:25,734 --> 00:08:28,734
And so far, this summer,
we've kept the winning
streak going

141
00:08:28,734 --> 00:08:30,367
that we started last season.

142
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,900
Okay, let it go.

143
00:08:34,734 --> 00:08:39,533
I'm gunning for 300 ounces,
which quite honestly
ought to be easy peasy.

144
00:08:40,667 --> 00:08:41,834
You'll be first up.

145
00:08:41,834 --> 00:08:44,233
So, you check
all your dive gear, I mean...

146
00:08:44,233 --> 00:08:46,300
No, I was gonna go
do that right now.

147
00:08:46,300 --> 00:08:48,800
I want you to do it like,
right now.

148
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,433
- Yeah.
- Before we get too far.

149
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:53,767
I've taken a little punch.

150
00:08:53,767 --> 00:08:56,834
I don't have the same killer
team that I had last summer.

151
00:08:56,834 --> 00:08:58,700
I've got Bryan Wilder back.

152
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:01,433
But I'm also gonna have
to rely on a crew member

153
00:09:01,433 --> 00:09:06,700
who's tended for me
a little bit in the past
but has never dove.

154
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:10,000
My objective today
is same as every day

155
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,433
to go out there
and get some gold.

156
00:09:12,433 --> 00:09:16,967
Bryan has the last dive,
so now it's Max's turn.

157
00:09:16,967 --> 00:09:18,834
So, we'll get him all
tagged out

158
00:09:18,834 --> 00:09:21,800
and put it in the water
here pretty damn quick.

159
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,333
The weather is about
to be turned over
the next couple of days.

160
00:09:25,333 --> 00:09:29,500
And so, we're gonna
go out there a little bit
deeper on the claim.

161
00:09:31,166 --> 00:09:32,500
We're here.

162
00:09:36,166 --> 00:09:37,934
I'm gonna anchor up
and see how it hangs.

163
00:09:44,567 --> 00:09:46,734
Truth is,
I'm a little nervous
about this.

164
00:09:46,734 --> 00:09:49,266
I've got big plans
for this summer.

165
00:09:49,266 --> 00:09:52,834
Basically, I want to even
the playing field with Shawn.

166
00:09:53,767 --> 00:09:55,333
But in order for that
plan to work,

167
00:09:55,333 --> 00:09:59,333
I need a little Max
to get acclimated
to this job quick.

168
00:09:59,333 --> 00:10:01,000
The gold is there
for the taking.

169
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,800
He just got to learn
how to snag it.

170
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,367
Let's go ahead
and fire it up
and get him in the water.

171
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:37,200
Okay, Max,
take your time going down.

172
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,700
Take your time going down.

173
00:10:42,433 --> 00:10:43,934
Diver in the water.

174
00:10:58,533 --> 00:11:00,200
All right.
I'm at the bottom.

175
00:11:01,667 --> 00:11:02,967
All right.

176
00:11:02,967 --> 00:11:04,033
Yeah.
Hey, Max.

177
00:11:04,033 --> 00:11:05,367
That's the first time
you've been down.

178
00:11:05,367 --> 00:11:06,834
How you making out?

179
00:11:07,667 --> 00:11:08,900
I'm all right.

180
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,400
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

181
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,900
Right now,
our main thing is,

182
00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:19,133
just be careful
and work back into it.

183
00:11:19,133 --> 00:11:20,500
Yeah.

184
00:11:31,467 --> 00:11:33,567
He's only
has been down
a couple of minutes.

185
00:11:33,567 --> 00:11:35,367
The material he's working.

186
00:11:35,367 --> 00:11:38,433
Does not appear to have
been worked before.

187
00:11:38,433 --> 00:11:42,934
We'll give him a chance
to make a cut and see
if he's seeing any gold.

188
00:11:48,367 --> 00:11:50,033
The only thing
I can hope is that

189
00:11:50,033 --> 00:11:53,600
we can make a withdrawal
from our royal gold bank

190
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,600
at the bottom
of the Bering Sea.

191
00:12:11,967 --> 00:12:13,900
It's a new dawn.
It's a new day.

192
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:15,700
Making [bleep] happen.

193
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,133
As the storm
front looms on the distant horizon...

194
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,667
Emily Riedel
is hoping for another
round in the ring

195
00:12:36,667 --> 00:12:40,100
before the Eroica's team
is forced off the water.

196
00:12:42,467 --> 00:12:44,266
Nice morning.

197
00:12:47,734 --> 00:12:50,400
I'm building a family
and I'm also building
a legacy.

198
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,800
I'm aiming for 250 ounces
this summer,

199
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,533
and I need it because
I depleted my nest
egg sitting out the winter.

200
00:12:57,533 --> 00:13:01,634
Luckily, Rick landed
on a great spot day one,
first time out in the water.

201
00:13:01,634 --> 00:13:03,667
So, we started off strong.

202
00:13:03,667 --> 00:13:06,834
So,
I want to hit it hard today
before that storm rolls in.

203
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,900
Sounds good.

204
00:13:22,967 --> 00:13:25,266
Hey, how's it going?

205
00:13:25,266 --> 00:13:29,233
I'll tell you what,
for visibility,
this is perfect.

206
00:13:29,233 --> 00:13:31,433
I mean, you couldn't ask
for better, really?

207
00:13:31,433 --> 00:13:32,834
Whoo-oh.
I know.

208
00:13:32,834 --> 00:13:33,967
Yup.

209
00:13:33,967 --> 00:13:35,233
We're in.

210
00:13:42,266 --> 00:13:43,900
Oh, yeah, baby.

211
00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:45,767
This is...
Money right here.

212
00:13:45,767 --> 00:13:49,133
All that flower gold
is just amazing.

213
00:13:49,133 --> 00:13:51,300
And it's all over
this little gravel stuff.

214
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,133
Heck yeah, buddy.

215
00:13:53,767 --> 00:13:55,333
I mean, I love it.

216
00:14:06,367 --> 00:14:07,667
Oh-oh.

217
00:14:19,967 --> 00:14:21,000
What's up?

218
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,033
Ah...

219
00:14:24,834 --> 00:14:26,634
Yeah.
Let me check. One second.

220
00:14:37,767 --> 00:14:39,100
Oh, no.

221
00:14:40,333 --> 00:14:41,600
Rick's losing suction.

222
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,533
Something's up
with the pump motor.

223
00:14:43,533 --> 00:14:47,367
Obviously, we can't mine
for gold if the pump motor
is not functioning correctly.

224
00:14:47,367 --> 00:14:50,166
If the pump motor's
not running, there's no way
to suck up gold.

225
00:14:50,166 --> 00:14:54,266
Um, I needed
an awesome day to day,
and it's not going well.

226
00:14:57,834 --> 00:15:02,100
Oh, it's
It's really

227
00:15:03,300 --> 00:15:05,900
We're losing RPMs
off the motor.

228
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:07,367
Oh,

229
00:15:07,367 --> 00:15:08,433
Coming up?

230
00:15:08,433 --> 00:15:09,600
Yeah, I'm coming up.

231
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,166
I mean, there's nothing
I can do down here.

232
00:15:11,166 --> 00:15:12,634
Yea, dude.
This sucks.

233
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,934
It's always
when we're on good gold

234
00:15:25,934 --> 00:15:28,634
and the weather's perfect,
got to kind of get to work

235
00:15:28,634 --> 00:15:30,500
and figure out
what the hell's going on.

236
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:35,200
Go for it.

237
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,500
Yeah, we'll look
for what's going on
in the pump motor.

238
00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:39,100
I can't fix it out here.

239
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:42,033
We're gonna pull the gear up
and bring the boat in.

240
00:15:42,033 --> 00:15:44,667
And this whole day
is just gone to hell.

241
00:15:44,667 --> 00:15:47,200
Hopefully
this just a super simple fix.

242
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,066
But time is money.

243
00:15:49,066 --> 00:15:53,166
We're... we're losing it
right now the weather
could change like that.

244
00:15:53,166 --> 00:15:56,066
This is the time that
we have to make our money.

245
00:15:56,066 --> 00:15:57,934
We're losing
thousands of dollars.

246
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,166
This is, like, insane.

247
00:16:05,066 --> 00:16:06,467
Back in Nome.

248
00:16:10,066 --> 00:16:12,367
Well, it's great
to be back in Nome.

249
00:16:14,333 --> 00:16:16,367
Oh, man. Oh.

250
00:16:16,367 --> 00:16:21,667
The fleet's most
notorious nomad touches down.

251
00:16:21,667 --> 00:16:23,567
We got the wheeler
somewhere in the parking lot.

252
00:16:23,567 --> 00:16:25,100
I forgot where it is.

253
00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:27,500
Huh?

254
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:28,767
There it is.

255
00:16:29,634 --> 00:16:30,767
Forgot about the windshield.

256
00:16:30,767 --> 00:16:31,967
Look at that.

257
00:16:31,967 --> 00:16:33,800
It's been raining inside it.

258
00:16:35,934 --> 00:16:38,233
Oh, boy, pretty wet in there.

259
00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:44,367
This thing's been here
for three months.

260
00:16:44,367 --> 00:16:46,333
After the winter season,
I just left it.

261
00:16:46,333 --> 00:16:48,734
Oh, that's 90 days, huh?

262
00:16:48,734 --> 00:16:52,066
They give... they give you
a break 'cause they know
it's a tough place to live.

263
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:55,834
Basically for me
at this point,

264
00:16:55,834 --> 00:16:57,800
it's just fighting
to survive up here.

265
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,100
Not only can't I afford
a dredge,

266
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:03,233
but I can't even afford
a windshield for my wheeler.

267
00:17:03,233 --> 00:17:04,767
You know,
hitting the ground here
in Nome,

268
00:17:04,767 --> 00:17:07,033
the first thing
you think about is,
you know, gold mining.

269
00:17:07,033 --> 00:17:09,300
But I... I can't be
gold mining without
a windshield in my...

270
00:17:09,300 --> 00:17:10,900
in my side by side.

271
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:13,133
So, I'll find a windshield
and put it on.

272
00:17:13,133 --> 00:17:15,600
That's the first thing
I'm gonna do here in Nome.

273
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:16,967
So, there you go.

274
00:17:24,367 --> 00:17:28,500
So, the question is,
what is the best way
for me to stay afloat.

275
00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:31,300
And I think I've come up
with a pretty good plan.

276
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:32,767
I decided to mooch.

277
00:17:32,767 --> 00:17:36,767
I decided to look for owners
that are looking
for a little extra help.

278
00:17:36,767 --> 00:17:40,433
Help is scarce up here,
so I should be good.

279
00:17:40,433 --> 00:17:43,767
And I think I need
to scrounge up a windshield.

280
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,233
That little rat Vernon
ripped me off
for the windshield.

281
00:17:56,233 --> 00:17:59,066
I know he's got my glass
windshield here.

282
00:17:59,066 --> 00:18:00,400
It should have come
with the wheeler,

283
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,700
when I stopped the wheeler
I should have had it.

284
00:18:03,533 --> 00:18:05,233
I know the windshield's here.

285
00:18:06,634 --> 00:18:08,000
It's where?

286
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,634
I made a fair
and square deal

287
00:18:09,634 --> 00:18:12,300
with Vernon for this
wheeler last summer.

288
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:14,066
How about five and a half?

289
00:18:14,066 --> 00:18:15,266
How about eight?

290
00:18:15,266 --> 00:18:17,033
I'll give you six ounces
of gold for it.

291
00:18:17,033 --> 00:18:18,433
Thank you very much.

292
00:18:20,266 --> 00:18:21,634
Whoo-oh.

293
00:18:21,634 --> 00:18:25,500
But the big bugger,
Vern, he just forgot
to throw in a windshield.

294
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:28,400
But I think if I just go up
to his scrap yard,

295
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,300
I'll find something
he won't miss it.

296
00:18:30,300 --> 00:18:31,800
Might be in here.

297
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,100
I'm not gonna go
into a lock on it,
but it looks not locked.

298
00:18:40,266 --> 00:18:41,600
Vernon.

299
00:18:49,367 --> 00:18:50,500
Nope.

300
00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:54,133
No, Vernon, No windshield.

301
00:18:55,266 --> 00:18:57,033
Look at this.

302
00:18:57,033 --> 00:18:58,634
Treasure trove plywood.

303
00:18:58,634 --> 00:19:00,367
Just sitting here rotting.

304
00:19:00,367 --> 00:19:02,800
That guy got too much money.

305
00:19:04,533 --> 00:19:06,834
There's some really cool
around here.

306
00:19:07,700 --> 00:19:09,634
I could use
some of this stuff.

307
00:19:09,634 --> 00:19:10,967
Oh.
Oh.

308
00:19:10,967 --> 00:19:12,367
Here's a box.

309
00:19:14,934 --> 00:19:16,967
Oh, there it is.

310
00:19:18,033 --> 00:19:19,333
The windshield.

311
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,900
Cool.
I'm just gonna grab this.

312
00:19:24,533 --> 00:19:26,734
Oh, man.
Dry roads.

313
00:19:26,734 --> 00:19:29,667
When I'm dreaming
of dry rides.

314
00:19:29,667 --> 00:19:34,033
Dream about a dry rides,
no mud in the face
and the goggles.

315
00:19:36,133 --> 00:19:38,934
And just like that,
I'm ready for summer.

316
00:19:38,934 --> 00:19:41,967
I got to find a set of tools
and then put this thing on.

317
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,133
I thought
it was gonna be
a great day today.

318
00:20:14,133 --> 00:20:16,333
I thought we were
gonna keep pressing forward.

319
00:20:16,333 --> 00:20:19,000
But my boat's down
and we're dead in the water.

320
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,233
Miles away,
a storm may be gathering,

321
00:20:22,233 --> 00:20:27,200
but on this morning
a storm is already raging
upon our Reaper nation.

322
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,467
We're coming up
to the boat I'm steering
a little bit here.

323
00:20:29,467 --> 00:20:31,133
We'll see what's going on.

324
00:20:33,667 --> 00:20:36,000
So, I started off
my day at the crack of dawn.

325
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,033
James calls me right
off the bat and tells me

326
00:20:38,033 --> 00:20:39,834
the Mistress
is unable to mine.

327
00:20:39,834 --> 00:20:42,967
Like this is day two
and this crap is already
happening?

328
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,967
Going to see
how bad it is.

329
00:20:46,834 --> 00:20:49,033
But it just
it's not working.

330
00:20:49,033 --> 00:20:51,467
It's gonna
be one of those days.

331
00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:55,667
The secret arrangement
that I have with Kevin is,

332
00:20:55,667 --> 00:20:58,667
he supplies
most of the money
in the beginning,

333
00:20:58,667 --> 00:21:00,367
but that's just
to get it started,

334
00:21:00,367 --> 00:21:02,700
to get the equipment we need.

335
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:04,767
There are still payments
that need to be made,

336
00:21:04,767 --> 00:21:06,934
and we have a big
one coming up.

337
00:21:06,934 --> 00:21:09,734
I'm worried about
making my payment
at the end of the month

338
00:21:09,734 --> 00:21:12,433
if we have to bring
our boat in today.

339
00:21:12,433 --> 00:21:14,900
That's what
I'm worried about.

340
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:19,400
We need 125,000
for the first installment
on most of this stuff.

341
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,667
Thank you.

342
00:21:21,700 --> 00:21:24,467
Which is,
I don't know, a lot of money.

343
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:33,767
Yeah.

344
00:21:33,767 --> 00:21:37,767
I was standing right here
and it just leaned over
and I was like...

345
00:21:37,767 --> 00:21:41,133
You guys are the one
that [bleep] welded
this sack [bleep].

346
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:45,867
The spuds are crucial
to operating this barge.

347
00:21:45,867 --> 00:21:49,266
And right now,
one of the spud towers
are cracking and twisting.

348
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,500
The welds aren't holding up.

349
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:55,867
And this tower
has already been an issue
with Kevin and I.

350
00:21:55,867 --> 00:21:59,367
This actually was a lot
more expensive than
I thought it was gonna be.

351
00:21:59,367 --> 00:22:00,800
Well, how much?

352
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,033
$40,000.

353
00:22:02,033 --> 00:22:04,667
- I spent 40,000 on just this.
- No, we didn't.

354
00:22:04,667 --> 00:22:05,800
Yeah, we did.

355
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,133
40,000?

356
00:22:08,133 --> 00:22:09,767
The Mistress
doesn't have anchors.

357
00:22:09,767 --> 00:22:11,467
That's what the spuds
are for.

358
00:22:11,467 --> 00:22:13,500
So, if the spuds aren't
working properly,

359
00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:16,033
we can't keep the boat
on one spot.

360
00:22:16,033 --> 00:22:19,200
In reality, we can't mine
if it's not fixed.

361
00:22:21,567 --> 00:22:25,533
This was a $40,000 disaster
that you came up with.

362
00:22:28,734 --> 00:22:30,000
This isn't so.

363
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,467
So, the game plan
was to waste $40,000
is that our game plan?

364
00:22:38,467 --> 00:22:40,900
My thought
is [bleep] piece of

365
00:22:40,900 --> 00:22:44,533
my thought is
we're gonna reinforce
it like a [bleep].

366
00:22:44,533 --> 00:22:46,133
Put that half inch on top.

367
00:22:46,133 --> 00:22:48,834
Put that other pulley
in and we're going back out.

368
00:22:49,467 --> 00:22:51,033
That's my [bleep] thought.

369
00:22:51,033 --> 00:22:52,300
I like that,
let's do it.

370
00:22:52,300 --> 00:22:54,800
I don't mean to get angry,
but I'm so
so stressed.

371
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,066
You have no idea.

372
00:22:57,567 --> 00:22:59,333
And I don't mean
to be stressed.

373
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,333
Fire up the thrust master, please.

374
00:23:04,667 --> 00:23:06,166
We're gonna make this work.

375
00:23:06,166 --> 00:23:08,033
You know,
we'll make this work fast.

376
00:23:09,934 --> 00:23:12,033
We're going
to the dock to reweld
the towers

377
00:23:12,033 --> 00:23:13,700
so it's not so screwed up.

378
00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:15,066
Hopefully the bad
weather coming.

379
00:23:15,066 --> 00:23:16,467
We got to do it fast.

380
00:23:16,467 --> 00:23:17,567
We're up against it.

381
00:23:17,567 --> 00:23:18,934
We're on the ropes here.

382
00:23:18,934 --> 00:23:20,300
Okay.

383
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:23,867
We're about to go back
into the harbor
so we can fabricate this.

384
00:23:23,867 --> 00:23:26,867
I'm sure it's not gonna
be done 100% correctly,

385
00:23:26,867 --> 00:23:30,767
but I guarantee my fixes
will last for the rest
of the season.

386
00:23:32,166 --> 00:23:34,133
Turn into a nightmare.

387
00:23:34,133 --> 00:23:35,634
Bad juju.

388
00:23:38,033 --> 00:23:42,200
While
the Mistress heads in,
back out on the Tomcod.

389
00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:49,467
Oh, no,
the Mistress is broken.

390
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,600
Kris Kelly,
he wants to beat me so bad.

391
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,400
But the fact of the matter is,
he hasn't worked hard
enough in his life

392
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,767
to get to where I'm at.

393
00:24:04,767 --> 00:24:06,634
I mean, you got to do right,

394
00:24:06,634 --> 00:24:08,867
you can't come jump
on people claims,

395
00:24:08,867 --> 00:24:13,000
he wants to do
illegal and be a anything.

396
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,767
, man,
he can be a piece of

397
00:24:14,767 --> 00:24:17,500
but he ain't gonna do
it but [bleep] me over.

398
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,266
Doing this job is not easy.

399
00:24:21,266 --> 00:24:23,200
I've been at this
for decades.

400
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:28,000
I've been learning, studying,
figuring out
how every ounce of gold

401
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,667
is gonna be earned and spent.

402
00:24:30,667 --> 00:24:34,166
You can't just walk in here
and think you're gonna be
a gold mogul overnight.

403
00:24:34,166 --> 00:24:35,533
Not a chance.

404
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,634
Weather's good for now,
but we've got weather
coming in,

405
00:24:44,634 --> 00:24:48,266
so we got to put
some gold in the box.

406
00:24:48,266 --> 00:24:50,000
Make some money.

407
00:24:51,433 --> 00:24:54,200
We got all three
lots ran from it.

408
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,934
Myrtle Irene, Christine Rose.

409
00:24:57,934 --> 00:25:01,867
And the Inland are firing
on all cylinders today.

410
00:25:01,867 --> 00:25:03,367
We're having a party.

411
00:25:03,367 --> 00:25:06,700
The only one that
wasn't really invited
was Kris.

412
00:25:08,834 --> 00:25:10,400
If brains
were dynamite,

413
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,700
Kris Kelly wouldn't have
enough power to blow his nose.

414
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:25,133
Oh.

415
00:25:25,934 --> 00:25:28,600
What up?

416
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,834
He's doing and doing...

417
00:25:38,033 --> 00:25:39,467
What happened?

418
00:25:44,367 --> 00:25:46,834
Bad problem
at even a worse time.

419
00:25:46,834 --> 00:25:49,000
Belt on the shaker
plant snapped.

420
00:25:52,033 --> 00:25:54,967
The shaker
is vital to the offshore
mining operation.

421
00:25:54,967 --> 00:25:59,667
It separates
all the oversize rock
from the ocean sediments

422
00:25:59,667 --> 00:26:01,200
that we process.

423
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,900
Without it, we're screwed.

424
00:26:03,934 --> 00:26:05,033
Quick, change it.

425
00:26:05,033 --> 00:26:06,533
It'll go on easy.

426
00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:11,500
Until we get a new belt
on the shaker, we're down.

427
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:14,333
Luckily, putting on a new belt
isn't a major deal,

428
00:26:14,333 --> 00:26:15,867
and we have them on the boat.

429
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,333
Got a new belt on there.

430
00:26:38,367 --> 00:26:40,066
go.

431
00:26:42,333 --> 00:26:43,800
Popped it off.

432
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,233
Should be more on board.

433
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,634
There's another one there.

434
00:26:55,066 --> 00:26:56,467
Clear.

435
00:27:18,867 --> 00:27:21,266
Now
with that first one.

436
00:27:21,266 --> 00:27:22,400
Clear.

437
00:27:32,533 --> 00:27:34,166
He is [bleep].

438
00:27:34,900 --> 00:27:36,300
One more new one?

439
00:27:36,834 --> 00:27:38,667
One more new one.

440
00:27:38,667 --> 00:27:40,300
The tension
isn't tight enough,

441
00:27:40,300 --> 00:27:43,066
so the belts keep sliding off, snapping.

442
00:27:43,066 --> 00:27:45,734
This is a delicate
art to get this right.

443
00:27:45,734 --> 00:27:47,667
And this is our last belt.

444
00:27:47,667 --> 00:27:49,567
If we don't get it right,
we're done.

445
00:27:50,433 --> 00:27:52,233
They have to fire back up.

446
00:27:52,233 --> 00:27:53,634
Barge.

447
00:27:55,734 --> 00:27:57,166
It's not holding.

448
00:27:57,166 --> 00:27:58,700
No, stop!

449
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,066
It wasn't meant to be.

450
00:28:04,066 --> 00:28:06,200
You just got to loosen
these four bolts,

451
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:11,200
slide the motor fore back,
put a little more tension
on the...

452
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,500
everything.

453
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,800
We're gonna make
an adjustment.

454
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,600
Hopefully
this does the trick.

455
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,500
We got one more day
to mine before
the storm comes in,

456
00:28:20,500 --> 00:28:22,567
kicks us off the water
for a while.

457
00:28:22,567 --> 00:28:24,467
I got to keep
this baby going.

458
00:28:24,467 --> 00:28:27,266
It takes a lot of gold
to pay for this operation.

459
00:28:27,266 --> 00:28:29,700
And if I don't get production
from the Myrtle today,

460
00:28:29,700 --> 00:28:31,800
we're gonna be
in a seriously bad place.

461
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,800
Bering Sea gold gods,
please be on my side.

462
00:28:42,667 --> 00:28:44,533
Giving it some [bleep].

463
00:28:44,533 --> 00:28:47,333
Gold mining Juju.

464
00:28:47,867 --> 00:28:48,967
Go, boy.

465
00:28:48,967 --> 00:28:50,467
Clear!

466
00:29:08,667 --> 00:29:10,233
Hell yeah.

467
00:29:14,767 --> 00:29:17,500
Time to make some money
instead of spending.

468
00:29:22,333 --> 00:29:25,066
Man, this material
looks really good.

469
00:29:27,333 --> 00:29:30,367
And we can keep
everything up and running.

470
00:29:30,367 --> 00:29:33,934
We'll have that gold room
burning and turning.

471
00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:39,934
We're gonna get as many
hours on the box as we can.

472
00:29:39,934 --> 00:29:42,233
You've got to make
hey while the sun shines.

473
00:29:50,433 --> 00:29:53,266
Yeah. Hey, Max,
how you making out?

474
00:29:54,900 --> 00:29:56,000
We've been...

475
00:30:04,233 --> 00:30:06,900
Looking to turn
his operation
into one of Nome's

476
00:30:06,900 --> 00:30:11,367
golden kingdoms,
Vernon Adkison is hoping
his rookie diver

477
00:30:11,367 --> 00:30:14,066
learns on the job, quick.

478
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,200
He's not seeing it.

479
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,266
There's great silt
down there,

480
00:30:22,333 --> 00:30:25,567
which would make
it hard to see gold.

481
00:30:25,567 --> 00:30:28,967
Yeah, Yeah.
Max, you're not
seeing it right now.

482
00:30:28,967 --> 00:30:33,266
Just go ahead
and start moving around
and do some prospecting.

483
00:30:37,767 --> 00:30:39,000
All right.

484
00:31:12,166 --> 00:31:13,300
Dammit.

485
00:31:16,367 --> 00:31:20,133
Rough currents and deeper
water can easily
rattle a diver,

486
00:31:20,133 --> 00:31:23,834
particularly an inexperienced
one like Max.

487
00:31:23,834 --> 00:31:26,000
It's not unusual
to get headaches

488
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,867
or even the bends
in that situation
if you're not up to par.

489
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,467
Hey, Max,
you've got 3 hours, man.

490
00:31:36,467 --> 00:31:38,200
Try and suit it up.

491
00:31:38,867 --> 00:31:40,567
Why don't you come on up?

492
00:31:47,467 --> 00:31:50,200
Needless to say,
I'm disappointed.

493
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,367
But I've just got to get
Bryan in there

494
00:31:52,367 --> 00:31:54,834
and start getting
some friggin' gold.

495
00:31:54,834 --> 00:31:56,767
All right.
Come up nice and slow.

496
00:32:05,233 --> 00:32:07,900
Max had
to come up,
we got a couple of hours in.

497
00:32:07,900 --> 00:32:09,266
He had a headache.

498
00:32:09,266 --> 00:32:12,200
It didn't sound like
he was onto
really anything hot.

499
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,667
And so, let me go up here
and take a look
at the damn GPS.

500
00:32:28,700 --> 00:32:30,634
I think
we're out of it.

501
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,767
But we've got to reposition.

502
00:32:34,767 --> 00:32:37,900
That's part of mining,
you've got to reposition
every now and then.

503
00:32:37,900 --> 00:32:40,867
You don't just drop
the anchor and stay
there all day.

504
00:32:40,867 --> 00:32:44,266
So, we're not all good gold,
we'll go look
for another spot.

505
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,000
Dammit.

506
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:50,266
I got a headache, too.

507
00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:53,033
Anchor's off.

508
00:32:53,033 --> 00:32:54,967
Okay.

509
00:32:54,967 --> 00:32:56,934
This day is starting
to piss me off.

510
00:32:56,934 --> 00:32:59,667
The new kid didn't get
on anything special.

511
00:32:59,667 --> 00:33:03,533
And now the current
is starting to blow us off
our hotspot.

512
00:33:03,533 --> 00:33:07,867
We've got to try
to reposition and get back
on the good stuff.

513
00:33:07,867 --> 00:33:11,967
Plus, these winds
are telling me that
there's a storm not far off.

514
00:33:11,967 --> 00:33:13,834
I need every day to count.

515
00:33:13,834 --> 00:33:17,000
And so far, this day
has not counted for squat.

516
00:33:18,333 --> 00:33:19,700
Okay.

517
00:33:19,700 --> 00:33:21,233
Fire it up again.

518
00:33:27,066 --> 00:33:29,266
Bryan's gonna go down.

519
00:33:29,266 --> 00:33:31,300
Let the man
take a look around,

520
00:33:31,300 --> 00:33:34,967
pop some holes
spend an hour or two.

521
00:33:34,967 --> 00:33:38,500
But I would like to get
a little gold in the box,
if you know what I mean.

522
00:33:51,100 --> 00:33:52,433
Slowly, Bryan.

523
00:33:52,433 --> 00:33:53,634
Slowly.

524
00:33:55,133 --> 00:33:56,900
Yeah.
I just got to go down slow.

525
00:33:56,900 --> 00:33:58,300
Try to be equal out.

526
00:33:59,367 --> 00:34:00,834
Bryan...

527
00:34:00,834 --> 00:34:04,700
he got a habit of bleeding
because he won't properly
clear his ears.

528
00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:09,634
I've seen him with blood
coming out of his eyes
and his ears.

529
00:34:11,333 --> 00:34:14,033
Over a yard, equalize
and get comfortable.

530
00:34:14,033 --> 00:34:15,400
All right.

531
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,300
I won't mess
with him right now,

532
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:19,767
but just give
it a couple of minutes,

533
00:34:19,767 --> 00:34:22,634
we got some good weather here.

534
00:34:22,634 --> 00:34:25,467
And we got to take
advantage of this opportunity.

535
00:34:26,367 --> 00:34:28,800
I want to think of gold
in a box.

536
00:34:34,266 --> 00:34:36,433
Back at the harbor...

537
00:34:36,433 --> 00:34:38,166
Time to get
out on the water.

538
00:34:38,767 --> 00:34:40,100
Coughing.

539
00:34:41,266 --> 00:34:42,867
Dude I got my summer working.

540
00:34:42,867 --> 00:34:44,967
Got the boat all gassed up,
ready to go.

541
00:34:44,967 --> 00:34:49,500
We'll go out and was thinking
about something else.

542
00:34:49,500 --> 00:34:54,867
Um, I'm gonna go out
and I'm going to...

543
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,066
Yeah.

544
00:35:00,066 --> 00:35:03,500
Well, yeah,
I'm gonna go out
and my plan is to go

545
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:06,500
and map out a bunch
of underwater features.

546
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:09,634
Try to find some islands
to cobble out of the sand
and hold them.

547
00:35:09,634 --> 00:35:11,166
And that's my plan.

548
00:35:11,166 --> 00:35:15,033
This summer,
mad scientist Zeke Tenhoff
has tied his hopes

549
00:35:15,033 --> 00:35:19,266
and dreams to Mr. Gold
and the Tomcod claim.

550
00:35:19,266 --> 00:35:20,367
Well, yeah,
We're ready.

551
00:35:20,367 --> 00:35:23,166
We're ready to roll.
Let's go.

552
00:35:23,166 --> 00:35:25,767
My brother and I have
a good deal going
with Shawn.

553
00:35:25,767 --> 00:35:28,000
He's letting us mine out
on Tomcod,

554
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,567
and we're leasing
the Havilah from him

555
00:35:30,567 --> 00:35:32,433
and giving him
a percentage of that gold.

556
00:35:32,433 --> 00:35:34,300
Let's get out there
and get after it.

557
00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:36,233
- Let's make some money.
- Yeah.

558
00:35:36,233 --> 00:35:39,800
I'm gonna use
my rig to map out
this untouched ground

559
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,767
in deeper water,
and I'll pass the info
on to Gabe

560
00:35:42,767 --> 00:35:45,000
who's getting the Havilah
ready for mining.

561
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,266
The problem is,
I thought that
I could prospect on my own

562
00:35:48,266 --> 00:35:49,567
with this little dredge
that I made,

563
00:35:49,567 --> 00:35:52,266
but it's just like
proving too hard for me.

564
00:35:52,266 --> 00:35:53,967
And I'm getting wiped out
and I need help.

565
00:35:53,967 --> 00:35:55,867
So, I'm bringing
in an extra hand.

566
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,500
Oh-oh.

567
00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:14,033
I'm a little late,
but I'm ready for the day.

568
00:36:14,033 --> 00:36:16,133
I even brought paper towels.

569
00:36:16,934 --> 00:36:18,200
Good morning, Zeke.

570
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:19,433
Good morning.

571
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Okay.
Go ahead, Zeke.

572
00:36:26,133 --> 00:36:28,533
First voyage
of the season for me.

573
00:36:28,533 --> 00:36:32,367
I'm not entirely
sure how much Steve
helped us last winter.

574
00:36:35,467 --> 00:36:37,200
Pizza delivery.

575
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,033
But Steve wasn't
a hindrance for me,
so that's good.

576
00:36:40,033 --> 00:36:41,400
So, if you can just
keep that up,

577
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,333
I think it'll be great
having him out there.

578
00:36:49,567 --> 00:36:50,934
All right.

579
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,500
I'm gonna start logging
some sonar charts here.

580
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,166
Good, I'm gonna like
just anchor up right here.

581
00:37:13,166 --> 00:37:15,634
Yeah.
Looks like a good spot.

582
00:37:19,934 --> 00:37:21,066
All right.

583
00:37:21,066 --> 00:37:22,433
Good to go.

584
00:37:31,734 --> 00:37:33,533
Oops.

585
00:37:33,533 --> 00:37:36,533
Oh, I filled up
the wrong fuel tanks.

586
00:37:39,567 --> 00:37:42,300
Trying to accelerate,
really add pressure
to that tank,

587
00:37:42,300 --> 00:37:43,867
so it drains out more.

588
00:37:43,867 --> 00:37:45,433
But I don't think
it's worthwhile.

589
00:37:45,433 --> 00:37:49,767
I think you've got too
much gas in your brain
when you do that and it's bad.

590
00:37:49,767 --> 00:37:53,433
I mean, the thing about
getting high on gas
is you have to just like,

591
00:37:54,133 --> 00:37:56,266
fight through it, you know.

592
00:37:56,266 --> 00:37:57,767
I feel great.

593
00:37:57,767 --> 00:37:59,367
Ooh.

594
00:37:59,367 --> 00:38:00,734
Exxon.

595
00:38:03,867 --> 00:38:05,867
Yeah.
There we go.

596
00:38:05,867 --> 00:38:07,200
Damn.

597
00:38:45,500 --> 00:38:46,667
Will do.

598
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,300
You're good to go.

599
00:39:11,033 --> 00:39:12,367
Roger that.

600
00:39:16,300 --> 00:39:18,767
Focus on the gold,
not the noise.

601
00:39:22,467 --> 00:39:25,233
And now
it's time for another
edition of,

602
00:39:27,033 --> 00:39:29,200
Do you know your miner?

603
00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:33,934
Steve Riedel has worked
with plenty of teams
over the years.

604
00:39:33,934 --> 00:39:36,200
Cold means gold.

605
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,533
So, take that cold
and turn it into gold.

606
00:39:38,533 --> 00:39:40,433
But have you
ever asked yourself

607
00:39:40,433 --> 00:39:44,467
what purpose does
he actually serve
aboard a crew?

608
00:39:44,467 --> 00:39:46,200
We do have coffee, don't we?

609
00:39:48,100 --> 00:39:53,667
Does Steve,
A, prepare the team
for rough seas ahead?

610
00:39:53,667 --> 00:39:56,033
Ooh.
Got some good
swells coming in.

611
00:39:56,033 --> 00:39:57,433
Oh.

612
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,266
You okay, buddy?

613
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,700
No.

614
00:40:05,700 --> 00:40:08,533
B, serve up
high end cuisine.

615
00:40:08,533 --> 00:40:10,300
Right in there.

616
00:40:10,300 --> 00:40:12,033
It's heating up fast.

617
00:40:12,033 --> 00:40:13,533
Oh, look at it. Go.

618
00:40:13,533 --> 00:40:15,433
No one on the earth
like Steve Riedel.

619
00:40:16,667 --> 00:40:18,033
Whoo!

620
00:40:18,033 --> 00:40:21,233
Or C,
always be at the ready.

621
00:40:21,233 --> 00:40:22,500
What the
you doing?

622
00:40:22,500 --> 00:40:24,166
Steve, come on.
Damn it.

623
00:40:24,166 --> 00:40:25,400
What?

624
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,300
And the correct
answer is...

625
00:40:29,300 --> 00:40:31,600
honestly, we have no idea
what Steve does.

626
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,400
But whatever it is,
nobody does it better.

627
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,734
And so ends another
edition of "Do you know
your miner?"

628
00:40:39,667 --> 00:40:40,934
Much better.

629
00:40:43,734 --> 00:40:48,834
In Nome,
the first major storm
of summer

630
00:40:48,834 --> 00:40:51,133
is set to strike by nightfall.

631
00:40:53,133 --> 00:40:57,033
So, for the fleet,
the fight is on to gather
the gold

632
00:40:58,433 --> 00:41:01,700
before Mother Nature
knocks them out.

633
00:41:05,033 --> 00:41:06,734
And out on the Bering Sea...

634
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,867
Box is running
really nice,

635
00:41:15,867 --> 00:41:17,934
seeing some color in there.

636
00:41:17,934 --> 00:41:22,000
Mr. Gold currently
has the Tomcod all to himself.

637
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,166
It doesn't look like
the Kellys are out here.

638
00:41:25,166 --> 00:41:27,066
Oh, too bad.

639
00:41:28,367 --> 00:41:31,000
Got every tentacle
of my operation running.

640
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,967
While Kris is sitting
at the dock,

641
00:41:32,967 --> 00:41:35,934
that's what happens
when you bite off more
than you can chew.

642
00:41:37,900 --> 00:41:40,634
And believe me,
that's what that joker
is doing.

643
00:41:40,634 --> 00:41:42,433
Running a little rinky
dink dredge.

644
00:41:42,433 --> 00:41:46,266
Doesn't set you up
for the reality of running
an excavator barge.

645
00:41:46,266 --> 00:41:48,567
That boy is in way
over his head.

646
00:41:50,367 --> 00:41:54,233
That they're evaluating
their [bleep] decisions
right now.

647
00:41:57,834 --> 00:41:59,266
Back at the dock...

648
00:42:03,900 --> 00:42:04,967
Here we sit.

649
00:42:04,967 --> 00:42:07,200
Everybody else
is making money but us.

650
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,467
I just need
this [bleep] thing to pay me.

651
00:42:13,467 --> 00:42:16,767
I'm getting you all kinds
of things that treat
you good,

652
00:42:16,767 --> 00:42:19,600
you [bleep] sack of

653
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,934
Like everything's gonna
work out really good, dude.

654
00:42:22,934 --> 00:42:27,767
Kris Kelly
is in the midst of a stressful
and costly pit stop.

655
00:42:27,767 --> 00:42:29,900
This has been
a [bleep] disaster.

656
00:42:31,233 --> 00:42:34,000
We're stuck fixing
the stupid rigging
on the spud tower.

657
00:42:35,433 --> 00:42:38,166
Bad weather is gonna kick
our ass in less than 24 hours.

658
00:42:38,166 --> 00:42:42,867
And if that's not enough,
17 days to come up
with $125,000,

659
00:42:42,867 --> 00:42:45,133
that's a [bleep] feat.

660
00:42:45,133 --> 00:42:48,233
I got to come up
with a massive payment
at the end of the month

661
00:42:48,233 --> 00:42:51,266
or basically the Mistress
can be repossessed.

662
00:42:51,266 --> 00:42:54,634
So, you could say
there's a storm
on the horizon.

663
00:42:54,634 --> 00:42:56,900
It's called my life
right now.

664
00:42:56,900 --> 00:42:58,467
But it is what
it is at this point,

665
00:42:58,467 --> 00:43:01,166
we need to make good
on our agreement.

666
00:43:01,166 --> 00:43:03,333
And I'm trying.
I'm really trying.

667
00:43:03,333 --> 00:43:06,166
You know, everybody
in town is probably
laughing at me.

668
00:43:11,266 --> 00:43:14,600
You know, it's...
it's my first year right now
with this excavator barge.

669
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,700
A lot of people around me
sees me coming up

670
00:43:16,700 --> 00:43:18,634
very fast in the mining community,

671
00:43:18,634 --> 00:43:21,600
and some people
are a little threatened
by that.

672
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,767
They want to make sure
I don't get all the way.

673
00:43:24,734 --> 00:43:26,266
I'm not gonna be laughed at.

674
00:43:26,266 --> 00:43:28,133
You know, we're gonna
turn this around.

675
00:43:29,367 --> 00:43:30,767
I like it.

676
00:43:31,867 --> 00:43:33,533
Yeah, baby.

677
00:43:35,467 --> 00:43:36,934
He's got the cap
on the lattice.

678
00:43:36,934 --> 00:43:38,500
We're about ready
to go mining.

679
00:43:38,500 --> 00:43:40,533
I'm so happy to be
done with this.

680
00:43:40,533 --> 00:43:42,800
What it should have been
done in the first place.

681
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,533
But if this thing fails,
this whole boat's gonna
be in the water.

682
00:43:48,066 --> 00:43:50,767
I'm a little worried.

683
00:43:50,767 --> 00:43:54,700
The tower is kind of fixed,
but we don't have a lot
of time right now.

684
00:43:54,700 --> 00:43:56,700
The storm is closing
in on us.

685
00:43:56,700 --> 00:43:58,367
So, it's like the tower
went in the corner.

686
00:43:58,367 --> 00:43:59,533
It got patched up.

687
00:43:59,533 --> 00:44:02,634
Now it's back in the ring,
ready to take a beating.

688
00:44:02,634 --> 00:44:05,867
It's iffy, but I just keep
thinking about the payment
coming due.

689
00:44:05,867 --> 00:44:07,033
What do you think?

690
00:44:07,033 --> 00:44:08,300
Should we take the risk?

691
00:44:08,300 --> 00:44:10,066
My gut feeling says no.

692
00:44:10,066 --> 00:44:13,600
But like, my desperation
says, [bleep] yeah.

693
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,000
If we don't take the chance,

694
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,533
we might be losing the boat
at the end of the month.

695
00:44:18,734 --> 00:44:20,400
We can't.
This is the only way
we can do it.

696
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:21,700
You know we can't be safe.

697
00:44:21,700 --> 00:44:22,800
- Yup.
- Okay.

698
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,500
Well, that's what
we're gonna have
to take the risk.

699
00:44:24,500 --> 00:44:26,600
We'll... we'll take that
risk and make it happen.

700
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:27,900
All systems are go.

701
00:44:27,900 --> 00:44:29,500
We got green across
the board.

702
00:44:29,500 --> 00:44:31,467
Time to get out there
and make some gold.

703
00:44:31,467 --> 00:44:33,266
Get the [bleep] out of here.

704
00:44:35,367 --> 00:44:36,767
Tell them, Kevin.

705
00:44:40,834 --> 00:44:42,233
Two miles east...

706
00:44:47,233 --> 00:44:48,667
- Here we go.
- Yeah.

707
00:44:48,667 --> 00:44:50,800
Yeah.

708
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,400
All right. Well, let's prime this
and see what happens.

709
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:57,066
With the clock
at ticking before a storm
knocks them to the sidelines.

710
00:44:57,066 --> 00:45:01,200
Emily Riedel is trying
to get her pump engine
a-pumping

711
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,667
and the gold flowing ASAP.

712
00:45:04,667 --> 00:45:06,367
I think
it's the fuel issue.

713
00:45:06,367 --> 00:45:08,667
So we replace
with fuel filters.

714
00:45:08,667 --> 00:45:10,400
Hopefully it's back.

715
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,166
We could make some
money today.

716
00:45:13,300 --> 00:45:15,533
I'm going for 250 ounces
this... this summer.

717
00:45:15,533 --> 00:45:17,734
So, we've got to get
to mining right away.

718
00:45:17,734 --> 00:45:22,000
I'm hoping that all
the pump motor needs
is a fuel purge

719
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,700
and the change of filter.

720
00:45:23,700 --> 00:45:25,900
If that's it, then
we'll get back on the gold

721
00:45:25,900 --> 00:45:28,100
and we'll kill it the rest
of the day.

722
00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:31,033
If there's a deeper issue
with the diesel motor
than a fuel problem.

723
00:45:31,033 --> 00:45:32,800
Then we're completely
screwed for it today.

724
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,033
Ready?

725
00:45:34,033 --> 00:45:35,233
Yeah.
Hit it.

726
00:45:44,533 --> 00:45:46,133
Whoo-hoo!

727
00:45:47,634 --> 00:45:48,900
So far, it's running.

728
00:45:48,900 --> 00:45:50,867
So, get back
out there.

729
00:45:50,867 --> 00:45:53,200
That's running fine
may as well.

730
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:54,800
- All righty.
- All right.

731
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,066
- Hi-five.
- Hi-five.

732
00:45:57,133 --> 00:45:58,500
Maybe this is my year.

733
00:45:58,500 --> 00:46:02,800
Yesterday we crushed it,
and today we dodged
a massive bullet.

734
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,800
Yeah, we can get
Rick back onto the water,

735
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,767
get some gold in the box
and keep the train moving.

736
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,066
Come see
it's all good.

737
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,000
How is your suction?

738
00:46:39,567 --> 00:46:41,367
Yeah, dude.
That's awesome.

739
00:46:45,967 --> 00:46:47,100
Whoo!

740
00:46:47,100 --> 00:46:49,467
Are you in some
chunky stuff, Rick?

741
00:46:49,467 --> 00:46:50,600
Like that...

742
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,367
nugget you found
the other day?

743
00:47:00,567 --> 00:47:02,000
Sounds good, brother.

744
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,367
With this stuff,
we cross our fingers.

745
00:47:11,266 --> 00:47:13,200
We got some
weather coming in, so.

746
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,400
Gosh. I hope we make
some money today.

747
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:19,767
12 miles west...

748
00:47:29,734 --> 00:47:33,767
So, Zeke,
for our audience around
the world,

749
00:47:33,767 --> 00:47:38,634
millions looking on daily
basis for gold.

750
00:47:38,634 --> 00:47:41,200
Are you finding any?

751
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,567
Yeah. It seems
like the cod is holding.

752
00:47:43,567 --> 00:47:46,634
It's pretty consistent along
this whole line that
I'm working.

753
00:47:57,166 --> 00:47:59,300
Roger that.

754
00:47:59,300 --> 00:48:04,600
A new dynamic
duo may be forming
on the mighty Tomcod claim.

755
00:48:16,367 --> 00:48:17,634
Hey, Steve.

756
00:48:17,634 --> 00:48:18,967
Yo, Zeke.

757
00:48:23,734 --> 00:48:25,133
You...
you found a nugget?

758
00:48:25,133 --> 00:48:26,834
Yeah.

759
00:48:31,567 --> 00:48:33,967
Yeah, um, I...
I like a...

760
00:48:33,967 --> 00:48:36,400
I like a nugget that
looks like Africa.

761
00:48:38,834 --> 00:48:40,800
Nice.
I'll take it.

762
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,934
Oh,
that's nice.

763
00:48:53,934 --> 00:48:55,500
That's huge.

764
00:48:56,300 --> 00:48:57,600
Yeah!

765
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,800
That's my kind of gold there,
big old hunks of it.

766
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,166
Looks like Africa.

767
00:49:02,166 --> 00:49:03,467
See you like that there.

768
00:49:03,467 --> 00:49:05,600
Just like Africa.
Just like it.

769
00:49:07,233 --> 00:49:08,834
Man,
that is a nice nugget.

770
00:49:08,834 --> 00:49:10,133
It is a nice one, man.

771
00:49:10,133 --> 00:49:11,333
It's huge.

772
00:49:11,333 --> 00:49:12,967
Like, I don't know
how much you think
is gonna weigh,

773
00:49:12,967 --> 00:49:14,367
quarter an ounce?

774
00:49:14,367 --> 00:49:16,600
I was guessing
about a quarter.

775
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:17,834
Maybe about quarter.

776
00:49:17,834 --> 00:49:19,533
Actually it's quarter,
to a third maybe.

777
00:49:19,967 --> 00:49:22,166
Cool.

778
00:49:22,166 --> 00:49:25,900
If I'm in a place
where there's nugs like this.

779
00:49:25,900 --> 00:49:28,934
There isn't really
any question that
I stay in this place,

780
00:49:28,934 --> 00:49:31,266
because there'll probably
be more nugs like this.

781
00:49:31,266 --> 00:49:33,400
And if you hit a couple
of these today,

782
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,533
it really bumps up
your average, big time.

783
00:49:36,533 --> 00:49:38,133
Cool.
It's a nice one.

784
00:49:38,133 --> 00:49:39,533
It's a fat nug.

785
00:49:42,634 --> 00:49:45,600
This nug is the dankest nug
I have ever found.

786
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,133
And this spot is awesome.

787
00:49:47,133 --> 00:49:49,033
I can't wait till
we can get the Havilah
out here.

788
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,600
There could be dank nugs
like this hiding all around
this whole area.

789
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,400
I'm gonna smash down
one of these sandwiches

790
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,800
I have and get back down
there as soon as possible.

791
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,133
There's a bunch of gold
around here.

792
00:50:01,133 --> 00:50:02,367
It's great.

793
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,166
It's a good spot here.

794
00:50:08,166 --> 00:50:10,066
It's the right call
at this point to get it tender

795
00:50:10,066 --> 00:50:12,500
so I don't have to worry
about any of the stuff up top.

796
00:50:12,500 --> 00:50:14,300
And I can focus on staying
on the bottom

797
00:50:14,300 --> 00:50:16,000
and getting as much
gold as I can.

798
00:50:22,867 --> 00:50:24,700
You ready?

799
00:50:24,700 --> 00:50:28,000
Okay, I'll fire it up.
I'll get... full volume
on the pump.

800
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,266
We need a couple
more nuggets, man.

801
00:50:36,266 --> 00:50:41,033
You know,
maybe North America or,
you know, Eurasia.

802
00:50:41,033 --> 00:50:43,266
You can find
a Eurasia one.

803
00:50:43,266 --> 00:50:44,767
That would be hot.

804
00:50:44,767 --> 00:50:46,367
Okay.
Steve.

805
00:50:46,367 --> 00:50:47,500
Awesome.

806
00:50:58,867 --> 00:51:02,500
Another day,
another dollar
on the Bering Sea.

807
00:51:02,500 --> 00:51:05,133
With the patchwork
holding on the spud tower,

808
00:51:05,133 --> 00:51:09,133
the Mistress looks
to get in a few licks
before the oncoming storm.

809
00:51:14,634 --> 00:51:16,934
We're out here
on last stages warning,

810
00:51:16,934 --> 00:51:18,700
we got a big storm coming in.

811
00:51:18,700 --> 00:51:21,133
It's up to us today
to stay on the gold

812
00:51:21,133 --> 00:51:23,367
and try to get as much
as we can.

813
00:51:24,367 --> 00:51:26,734
Reaper Nation cannot
be denied.

814
00:51:26,734 --> 00:51:28,367
The spud tower
turns into junk.

815
00:51:28,367 --> 00:51:29,767
No problem.
We fix it.

816
00:51:29,767 --> 00:51:31,133
We're back out here mining,

817
00:51:31,133 --> 00:51:33,934
which is really important
because we need a lot
of gold to make

818
00:51:33,934 --> 00:51:35,033
our first payment.

819
00:51:35,033 --> 00:51:36,734
And I know
we're gonna be down
for a bit

820
00:51:36,734 --> 00:51:38,600
once this storm hits.

821
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,266
So, all that matters
is nothing else goes
wrong today,

822
00:51:41,266 --> 00:51:42,600
and we'll be fine.

823
00:51:53,367 --> 00:51:54,900
You hear that?

824
00:51:56,300 --> 00:51:57,867
Oh,

825
00:52:01,433 --> 00:52:03,467
Oh, what the
is going on now?

826
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,266
Well, that's not good.

827
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,200
Okay.

828
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:36,700
All right.

829
00:52:42,867 --> 00:52:44,000
Cool.

830
00:52:47,734 --> 00:52:49,834
We don't have
a bunch of replacements
for that?

831
00:52:53,533 --> 00:52:56,834
So that stupid pin
that keeps the bucket
from not falling off, fell off

832
00:52:56,834 --> 00:52:59,800
and these idiots
don't have a spare.

833
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,567
So, we're gonna weld
some random piece in there
and hope it works.

834
00:53:08,066 --> 00:53:09,400
Just kill me now.

835
00:53:10,834 --> 00:53:13,100
Ghetto fabulous fix.

836
00:53:13,100 --> 00:53:14,900
That's how
it's done on the ocean.

837
00:53:26,266 --> 00:53:27,533
We're good.

838
00:53:29,367 --> 00:53:30,834
Should work.

839
00:53:30,834 --> 00:53:36,100
Hopefully, if not,
the bucket is gonna fall off
and it's gonna be epic.

840
00:53:41,700 --> 00:53:45,266
Did you guys hear that
Hope that we don't
lose the bucket.

841
00:53:50,133 --> 00:53:52,166
That bucket costs $10,000.

842
00:53:52,166 --> 00:53:55,233
That bucket is what brings
gold from the bottom
of the sea.

843
00:53:55,233 --> 00:53:57,734
Without that bucket,
you idiot, there's no gold.

844
00:53:57,734 --> 00:53:59,166
There's no Reaper Nation.

845
00:54:00,433 --> 00:54:02,433
Maybe to that guy,
it's not a big deal.

846
00:54:02,433 --> 00:54:05,266
But when you're an owner,
let me tell you, it sure is.

847
00:54:11,900 --> 00:54:14,600
Obviously that [bleep] guy
doesn't understand
the importance

848
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,300
of that bucket or something.

849
00:54:33,100 --> 00:54:34,667
Yeah, baby.

850
00:54:35,333 --> 00:54:36,800
We're back up and running.

851
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,867
Hopefully back on gold.

852
00:54:38,867 --> 00:54:40,533
'Cause we need that gold.

853
00:54:44,934 --> 00:54:46,400
Make that gold.

854
00:54:48,734 --> 00:54:50,367
12 miles east...

855
00:54:53,667 --> 00:54:54,834
Hey, Ricardo.

856
00:54:54,834 --> 00:54:56,333
How does the bottom look?

857
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:58,834
Oh, it's looking fantastic.

858
00:54:58,834 --> 00:54:59,967
Em.

859
00:55:00,867 --> 00:55:01,934
Whoo-ho!

860
00:55:06,834 --> 00:55:09,500
Yeah. Today we'll have
a nice cleanup for sure.

861
00:55:10,567 --> 00:55:12,967
After an earlier
engine snafu,

862
00:55:12,967 --> 00:55:16,467
things are really starting
to suck for Emily Riedel.

863
00:55:16,467 --> 00:55:18,133
In the very best of ways.

864
00:55:18,133 --> 00:55:21,300
It seems like
the suction is good.

865
00:55:21,300 --> 00:55:23,033
I'll keep an eye on it,
we got a...

866
00:55:23,033 --> 00:55:25,500
It seems to be back to normal.

867
00:55:25,500 --> 00:55:27,166
This spot has some hot gold.

868
00:55:27,166 --> 00:55:29,600
This is a perfect way
to start the season.

869
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:31,000
And we've got a storm
rolling in.

870
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,634
It's gonna shut us down
for a couple of days.

871
00:55:32,634 --> 00:55:36,166
It's a gnarly one,
but Rick's gonna more than
make up for that today.

872
00:55:36,166 --> 00:55:39,700
This is the level I need
my operation to be
running at all the time.

873
00:55:39,700 --> 00:55:42,700
I want to build
this operation into an empire,

874
00:55:42,700 --> 00:55:45,233
and I want to do it
for the future of my family.

875
00:55:45,233 --> 00:55:47,066
And I am the Empress.

876
00:55:47,066 --> 00:55:48,367
I am the Queen.

877
00:55:52,367 --> 00:55:53,800
I'm gonna swap out with Alex.

878
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:57,800
He's like a total role changer
to have another captain
in the boat.

879
00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,600
Now it's like one of you
against the world now.

880
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,634
Now it's two of you
against the world.

881
00:56:01,634 --> 00:56:03,166
So, hopefully
we made a lot of ounces.

882
00:56:04,700 --> 00:56:07,200
Hello.

883
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,000
Now that we're back on gold,
I'm gonna have my better
half take over.

884
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,834
And I'm gonna go get
the gold room set up.

885
00:56:11,834 --> 00:56:13,000
Yo baby?

886
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,200
How are you?

887
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:15,300
Okay.

888
00:56:16,433 --> 00:56:18,834
Yeah. Then we're gonna get
a lot of dive time in today.

889
00:56:18,834 --> 00:56:21,767
I'm gonna have like
really solid hours for a...

890
00:56:21,767 --> 00:56:22,900
for a tune up.

891
00:56:22,900 --> 00:56:24,000
Yeah.

892
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,600
In order to ensure
our growing empire,

893
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:30,400
um, my husband Alex
is gonna be out here
learning the ropes

894
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,233
of the Eroica,
learning how to run it,

895
00:56:32,233 --> 00:56:36,066
learning the ins and outs,
and he's gonna be taking
the reins from time to time.

896
00:56:36,066 --> 00:56:37,533
All right, love you, bunches.

897
00:56:37,533 --> 00:56:39,000
Love you too.

898
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:53,767
I had asked my husband,
Alex to come out
and take over for me.

899
00:56:53,767 --> 00:56:56,900
It's really great thing there,
I highly recommend it.

900
00:56:56,900 --> 00:56:59,700
I did this alone for a long
time and it was hard.

901
00:56:59,700 --> 00:57:01,300
It's really, really hard.

902
00:57:01,300 --> 00:57:06,333
It's just nice, you know,
at least in the hope that
the dredge behaves itself

903
00:57:06,333 --> 00:57:08,734
and we're able to get
really solid hours.

904
00:57:10,033 --> 00:57:11,900
Another day, another drama.

905
00:57:14,634 --> 00:57:16,100
One mile east...

906
00:57:19,967 --> 00:57:21,233
Hey, Bryan.

907
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:23,867
How are your ears?

908
00:57:25,133 --> 00:57:26,400
Ears are good.

909
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,200
All right. Okay.

910
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:29,834
Real good.

911
00:57:29,834 --> 00:57:32,333
After his rookie
diver got knocked to the mat.

912
00:57:32,333 --> 00:57:35,533
Vernon's hoping that
veteran diver Bryan Wilder

913
00:57:35,533 --> 00:57:37,667
can still notch a win
on the day.

914
00:57:42,300 --> 00:57:43,367
All right.

915
00:57:43,367 --> 00:57:45,000
Keep at this for a while.

916
00:57:59,066 --> 00:58:00,867
Oh

917
00:58:01,533 --> 00:58:02,567
Hang on a minute.

918
00:58:02,567 --> 00:58:04,033
We got a problem
with your air.

919
00:58:11,834 --> 00:58:12,934
What?

920
00:58:15,300 --> 00:58:16,867
What the [bleep]?

921
00:58:19,667 --> 00:58:21,000
Come up, Bryan.
Come up.

922
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,533
Don't come up too fast
but we're losing air.

923
00:58:27,734 --> 00:58:30,066
Freakin'
dammit.

924
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,800
Dude, your air compressor
is messed up.

925
00:58:44,900 --> 00:58:48,233
Bryan was down
there in deep water
and suddenly, boom,

926
00:58:48,233 --> 00:58:50,033
he's not getting air.

927
00:58:50,033 --> 00:58:53,500
We caught it pretty quickly,
but sometimes divers
will panic

928
00:58:53,500 --> 00:58:55,433
and they'll come up too fast.

929
00:58:55,433 --> 00:58:58,567
The internal pressure
between the ear
and the nose

930
00:58:58,567 --> 00:59:00,600
can sometimes
get out of whack.

931
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,734
And that's how you blow
out an eardrum.

932
00:59:17,700 --> 00:59:19,367
I need
the nose block.

933
00:59:19,367 --> 00:59:21,133
The nose block came out.

934
00:59:21,133 --> 00:59:22,533
Oh,

935
00:59:23,333 --> 00:59:24,734
We don't need
to take that out.

936
00:59:24,734 --> 00:59:26,100
Why...
why is it taken out?

937
00:59:26,100 --> 00:59:27,734
Oh, I took it out from Max.

938
00:59:27,734 --> 00:59:29,367
Forgot to put it back in.

939
00:59:29,367 --> 00:59:31,266
Oh,
you went down without it?

940
00:59:31,266 --> 00:59:32,533
Forgot.

941
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:38,000
But don't
around.

942
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,300
Do it right.

943
00:59:39,300 --> 00:59:43,100
Otherwise, I'll be taking
you back up
to the hospital again.

944
00:59:43,100 --> 00:59:45,500
Bryan removed
the nose guard
from the mask

945
00:59:45,500 --> 00:59:47,700
which is a pretty
stupid thing to do.

946
00:59:47,700 --> 00:59:51,233
And sure enough,
he came up too fast
and the pressure was severe.

947
00:59:51,233 --> 00:59:54,467
Last summer
he was bleeding out
of his ears.

948
00:59:54,467 --> 00:59:56,634
Now he's bleeding out
of his nose.

949
01:00:00,333 --> 01:00:02,133
Just a little bit.
It's not that bad.

950
01:00:04,700 --> 01:00:06,700
I feel bad
that he got hurt,
but dammit,

951
01:00:06,700 --> 01:00:10,834
these kinds of mistakes,
they're gonna break me
if they continue.

952
01:00:10,834 --> 01:00:12,667
I'll never get
the 300 ounces.

953
01:00:12,667 --> 01:00:15,033
I've got the storm
starting to blow in.

954
01:00:15,033 --> 01:00:18,500
And as it is,
I haven't made enough
for cab fare today.

955
01:00:18,500 --> 01:00:20,800
First bad day
in a long time.

956
01:00:23,100 --> 01:00:26,133
No, I'm not
satisfied with the
damn day.

957
01:00:26,133 --> 01:00:28,700
We didn't get any
gold in the box.

958
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,567
Hey,
we're getting an occasional
white cap up here.

959
01:00:46,567 --> 01:00:48,300
Just so you know.

960
01:00:51,500 --> 01:00:55,066
As the clouds roll
in and the waves rise
ever higher,

961
01:00:55,066 --> 01:00:58,300
the time to throw
in the towel is fast approaching.

962
01:01:09,133 --> 01:01:10,266
Okay.

963
01:01:10,266 --> 01:01:12,567
Well, we've had a fantastic
day out here, man.

964
01:01:12,567 --> 01:01:15,266
You can come up
and consider it a...

965
01:01:15,266 --> 01:01:16,333
a successful day.

966
01:01:16,333 --> 01:01:17,467
No problem.

967
01:01:18,266 --> 01:01:19,433
Yeah.

968
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:29,166
Yeah,
he's coming up.

969
01:01:29,166 --> 01:01:31,033
I see Zeke.
I see the light.

970
01:01:31,033 --> 01:01:33,133
Zeke's light is coming up.

971
01:01:36,367 --> 01:01:39,166
I'm bummed
that the weather is kicking us
off the water already.

972
01:01:39,166 --> 01:01:41,166
But I am really stoked
about today went.

973
01:01:41,166 --> 01:01:43,767
Steve didn't let the boat
sink and he didn't let
me drown.

974
01:01:43,767 --> 01:01:45,200
So that's good.

975
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:49,367
And also, we know that
this area of Tomcod is just
loaded with gold.

976
01:01:49,367 --> 01:01:51,934
This is a perfect place
for the Havilah to start off.

977
01:01:51,934 --> 01:01:54,400
We're gonna get her going
as soon as this storm
blows out.

978
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:58,000
I'm increasingly
optimistic about a huge
rebound this summer.

979
01:01:59,867 --> 01:02:01,200
Perfect.

980
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:03,266
Free row.

981
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:06,100
Yeah. I'm kind of
anxious to get home.

982
01:02:06,100 --> 01:02:07,800
I'm tired.
It's been a long day.

983
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,800
I've been on the water
for 11 hours.

984
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,000
11 hours, about 20 an hour.

985
01:02:14,667 --> 01:02:16,300
Hmm, that's $220.

986
01:02:20,066 --> 01:02:21,400
Everything's running great.

987
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:22,667
And I'm glad.

988
01:02:22,667 --> 01:02:24,400
I'm really glad that
I have some help.

989
01:02:25,133 --> 01:02:26,467
You're the man, Zeke.

990
01:02:26,467 --> 01:02:28,467
You're the manly man.
Man and a manly man.

991
01:02:33,967 --> 01:02:38,734
While the storm
gathers on the horizon,
one mile east...

992
01:03:00,133 --> 01:03:01,367
There you got the, Myrtle.

993
01:03:01,367 --> 01:03:03,066
Ooh.

994
01:03:04,700 --> 01:03:07,767
Mr. Gold's
business partner, Dave Young,

995
01:03:07,767 --> 01:03:10,467
checks in on the season's
first haul.

996
01:03:10,467 --> 01:03:11,934
First time out this year.

997
01:03:11,934 --> 01:03:15,433
I'm ready to see
what they got in there
and I can't wait.

998
01:03:15,433 --> 01:03:16,667
Hopefully,
it's getting the gold.

999
01:03:16,667 --> 01:03:17,900
We need it.

1000
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:22,600
Go check out the box.

1001
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:24,734
See if we have
any gold in there.

1002
01:03:26,533 --> 01:03:28,700
With this storm
about ready to shut us down,

1003
01:03:28,700 --> 01:03:31,867
we've got to make sure
we got solid looking
gold in the box.

1004
01:03:31,867 --> 01:03:33,600
See anything down there?

1005
01:03:35,066 --> 01:03:36,700
That's what
Dave is looking for.

1006
01:03:36,700 --> 01:03:39,567
I don't want to look like
an idiot on the first trip out.

1007
01:03:45,867 --> 01:03:48,700
Shawn, look at that.

1008
01:03:50,367 --> 01:03:52,600
My first nugget
with Mr. Gold.

1009
01:03:55,367 --> 01:03:56,800
Thank you.

1010
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,600
I mean, I'm gonna
keep that frame it.

1011
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:00,934
Framing?

1012
01:04:02,500 --> 01:04:04,800
It's caked with gold.

1013
01:04:06,834 --> 01:04:08,266
Look at that.

1014
01:04:09,767 --> 01:04:11,233
Yeah!

1015
01:04:14,767 --> 01:04:15,867
I love it.

1016
01:04:15,867 --> 01:04:18,333
Love it when a plan
comes together.

1017
01:04:19,433 --> 01:04:20,800
Yeah.

1018
01:04:24,767 --> 01:04:27,634
Well the cleanup will
tell the story of
how much is in here.

1019
01:04:27,634 --> 01:04:30,000
But it looks good.

1020
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,467
Too bad we can't get
a couple more days
before the storm, buddy.

1021
01:04:37,467 --> 01:04:39,033
Mats are full.

1022
01:04:39,033 --> 01:04:41,233
Yeah, I think
we're gonna just boogie in.

1023
01:04:43,433 --> 01:04:47,066
Jack up the spuds
and we got weather
coming in

1024
01:04:47,066 --> 01:04:53,100
and I'd rather get this gold
safe to the harbor,
in the harbor in a pan,

1025
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:56,533
in the safe
and in the cash,

1026
01:04:56,533 --> 01:04:59,500
because I don't want
to push it.

1027
01:05:01,767 --> 01:05:03,600
I've been around
the block enough times.

1028
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:05,800
To know,
when you push it,
when you call it.

1029
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,734
Gold fever almost took
the ship down a few years ago.

1030
01:05:09,734 --> 01:05:10,934
Mayday, Mayday.

1031
01:05:10,934 --> 01:05:14,400
We're reading
a catastrophic tide failure.

1032
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:18,467
Captain Ken got
greedy and stayed out
way too long.

1033
01:05:18,467 --> 01:05:21,133
Now he's having
trouble coming in.

1034
01:05:21,133 --> 01:05:22,767
It's not good.

1035
01:05:25,900 --> 01:05:27,433
You don't build up
an operation like

1036
01:05:27,433 --> 01:05:29,934
I got by making
uninformed decisions.

1037
01:05:29,934 --> 01:05:31,266
It takes experience.

1038
01:05:31,266 --> 01:05:32,800
You got to know
what you're doing.

1039
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:37,266
If not, your whole operation
along with your excavator
barge will end up

1040
01:05:37,266 --> 01:05:40,133
out in the bottom
of the ocean floor
with the gold.

1041
01:05:40,133 --> 01:05:42,533
Back in the safety
of the harbor.

1042
01:05:43,433 --> 01:05:45,100
Got gold in the box.

1043
01:05:45,100 --> 01:05:46,266
Dave's happy.

1044
01:05:46,266 --> 01:05:47,467
I'm happy.

1045
01:05:47,467 --> 01:05:48,934
Everybody's happy.

1046
01:05:49,900 --> 01:05:53,567
They are kicking ass,
Myrtle kicking ass.

1047
01:05:53,567 --> 01:05:55,867
Kris Kelly is gonna
get his ass kicked.

1048
01:05:56,266 --> 01:05:58,000
Good run.

1049
01:06:00,233 --> 01:06:01,900
It's time to clean some gold.

1050
01:06:03,033 --> 01:06:05,567
As Mr. Gold
pulls up to the dock.

1051
01:06:07,467 --> 01:06:09,033
Back on Tomcod...

1052
01:06:19,066 --> 01:06:20,300
Weather is getting worse.

1053
01:06:20,300 --> 01:06:23,033
Wind is following the same
path as the waves

1054
01:06:23,033 --> 01:06:25,934
which is not good
because that means
it's building.

1055
01:06:27,834 --> 01:06:29,634
Despite
the worsening weather,

1056
01:06:29,634 --> 01:06:33,367
Reaper Nation's still
in the throes of mining.

1057
01:06:37,033 --> 01:06:38,500
Definitely getting out.

1058
01:06:38,500 --> 01:06:40,000
It's starting to white cap.

1059
01:06:50,467 --> 01:06:52,967
But we kind
of need to push our luck
a little bit.

1060
01:06:52,967 --> 01:06:54,634
We need to stick it out
a little longer.

1061
01:06:54,634 --> 01:06:55,900
We need the gold.

1062
01:06:58,934 --> 01:07:02,600
I thought you kind of see
what we're doing
as far as gold goes.

1063
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:05,200
You know, see
if it's worth fighting.

1064
01:07:17,700 --> 01:07:20,166
Test pans
are still looking great.

1065
01:07:20,166 --> 01:07:22,266
Pretty close to 100 colors.

1066
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:30,200
It's tough
being the owner,

1067
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:33,133
when you're the one
with everything on the line.

1068
01:07:33,133 --> 01:07:35,600
You're torn, you know,
pushing through
the bad weather

1069
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:37,400
'cause we need money
for the bills.

1070
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:39,266
But this equipment costs
a lot of money.

1071
01:07:39,266 --> 01:07:42,066
And if I push too hard,
it could cost me even more.

1072
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:56,033
It's all a balancing
act and the wrong
decision will kill you.

1073
01:07:56,033 --> 01:07:57,433
And that's all on me.

1074
01:08:06,467 --> 01:08:08,333
I'm gonna go
with luck of the Irish.

1075
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:16,400
So we're gonna
keep going.

1076
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:20,000
Is it the right call
considering everything
I'm dealing with?

1077
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:21,600
Yes, I think it is.

1078
01:08:22,367 --> 01:08:24,400
So, bottom line,
we need the gold.

1079
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:25,667
So, there's no choice here.

1080
01:08:25,667 --> 01:08:28,133
We stay.

1081
01:08:28,133 --> 01:08:30,967
I have a huge payment
to make at the end
of the month.

1082
01:08:30,967 --> 01:08:34,634
And we can't say
we were a bunch of

1083
01:08:34,634 --> 01:08:37,533
that's why we didn't
make our money.

1084
01:08:37,533 --> 01:08:41,233
They know the only way
I'm gonna get gold
is if I sit out here,

1085
01:08:41,233 --> 01:08:43,233
14 hours a day to get it.

1086
01:08:49,734 --> 01:08:51,900
So, this boat has to sit
out here.

1087
01:08:53,634 --> 01:08:56,066
I think we should live life
on the edge.

1088
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:09,734
How's it looking,
Bryan?

1089
01:09:10,934 --> 01:09:12,367
Pretty good.

1090
01:09:12,367 --> 01:09:13,634
Not bad, huh?

1091
01:09:13,634 --> 01:09:15,934
Yeah, well, you know, considering.

1092
01:09:15,934 --> 01:09:18,100
Despite taking
a few punches,

1093
01:09:18,100 --> 01:09:21,400
Vernon Adkison hoping
to hit the scoreboard

1094
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,433
before the upcoming storm
shuts him down.

1095
01:09:24,433 --> 01:09:28,233
We had a compressor
kick out on us that cost us
some time.

1096
01:09:28,233 --> 01:09:30,800
When Max went down,
he got a headache.

1097
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:34,033
And then when you came up,
you were bleeding
out the nose,

1098
01:09:34,033 --> 01:09:35,734
at least you weren't
bleeding out the ears.

1099
01:09:35,734 --> 01:09:37,934
Yeah.
I know.

1100
01:09:37,934 --> 01:09:42,967
I'm not sure if we had
99 problems today,
but we were damn close.

1101
01:09:42,967 --> 01:09:44,600
Not what we wanted.

1102
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,634
Not with this storm
blowing in.

1103
01:09:46,634 --> 01:09:48,800
We'll see how we do
with its way out.

1104
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:53,333
But something's telling me
we're gonna have to do
some serious rebounding.

1105
01:09:53,333 --> 01:09:55,734
Well let's pour
it up and see what we got.

1106
01:10:00,967 --> 01:10:02,266
One ounce.

1107
01:10:02,967 --> 01:10:04,367
One and half.

1108
01:10:05,133 --> 01:10:06,433
Two.

1109
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:13,300
Two-point-six two ounces
for a dive day with problems?

1110
01:10:14,834 --> 01:10:16,033
I'll take it.

1111
01:10:16,033 --> 01:10:17,200
Yeah.

1112
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:18,967
2.6 ounces.

1113
01:10:18,967 --> 01:10:20,867
It's worth over $4000.

1114
01:10:22,667 --> 01:10:25,333
I'm trying to build a kingdom,
but with this much gold,

1115
01:10:25,333 --> 01:10:28,467
all I can do is maybe
buy a doormat for the gate.

1116
01:10:28,467 --> 01:10:30,033
It's not like,
"Yippee-ki-yay

1117
01:10:30,033 --> 01:10:31,300
We're rich."

1118
01:10:31,300 --> 01:10:35,200
But we got enough to pay
the bills and keep us
in the game.

1119
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:37,600
Look, this isn't getting us
where we wanna be.

1120
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:40,166
But Nome wasn't built
in a day.

1121
01:10:40,166 --> 01:10:43,000
I'm confident that
we can get back out there

1122
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:48,800
and have smooth dives
from here on out
and get that 300 ounces.

1123
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:52,333
I hope to hell we'll be
able to get back on that spot.

1124
01:10:52,333 --> 01:10:55,367
- Easy gold, but hard to hold.
- Yeah.

1125
01:10:55,367 --> 01:10:57,700
And like some girls
I used to know.

1126
01:11:00,233 --> 01:11:01,433
Tag it and bag it.

1127
01:11:03,066 --> 01:11:04,867
On the outskirts
of Nome.

1128
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:16,667
We had water
in the filters.

1129
01:11:16,667 --> 01:11:19,433
We're gonna like bring it in
and then swap out the filters.

1130
01:11:19,433 --> 01:11:21,200
He ended up being right.

1131
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:22,300
It's looking pretty good.

1132
01:11:22,300 --> 01:11:23,934
Yep.

1133
01:11:23,934 --> 01:11:26,133
Despite a hiccup
with her pump engine,

1134
01:11:26,133 --> 01:11:32,567
Emily Riedel is hoping
to keep the honeymoon
alive on claim 14.

1135
01:11:32,567 --> 01:11:35,400
Two days out,
two days on hot gold,

1136
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:37,166
trying to build a legacy here.

1137
01:11:37,166 --> 01:11:39,133
And so far, so good.

1138
01:11:39,133 --> 01:11:42,967
We've got a storm rolling in,
so we're gonna have
a chance to see how we did.

1139
01:11:42,967 --> 01:11:45,000
And the box looks
really good.

1140
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:46,233
I think we killed it.

1141
01:11:46,233 --> 01:11:48,333
Let's see how we did here.

1142
01:11:50,533 --> 01:11:52,000
One.

1143
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:53,433
Two.

1144
01:11:54,533 --> 01:11:55,767
Three.

1145
01:11:55,767 --> 01:11:59,033
Four, five, six, eight, nine,

1146
01:11:59,033 --> 01:12:03,934
10, 11, 12, 13, 14,

1147
01:12:03,934 --> 01:12:08,800
15, 16, 17, 18, 19...

1148
01:12:09,533 --> 01:12:10,767
What a day!

1149
01:12:10,767 --> 01:12:11,900
All right.

1150
01:12:11,900 --> 01:12:12,967
- Sweet.
- Sweet.

1151
01:12:12,967 --> 01:12:16,667
20 ounces
is worth $36,000.

1152
01:12:16,667 --> 01:12:21,500
And the newlyweds are clearly
married to a sizzling
pay streak.

1153
01:12:21,500 --> 01:12:23,400
- Yeah, that's some
nice G, guys.
- Yep.

1154
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:26,600
We just... We just got
to ask for some mercy
from the Bering Sea,

1155
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:29,033
and we gotta keep
getting out there.

1156
01:12:29,033 --> 01:12:31,000
It's longer.

1157
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:32,734
Hopefully, that storm blows
over fast 'cause

1158
01:12:32,734 --> 01:12:35,233
we're on Hot G
and I wanna keep hitting it.

1159
01:12:35,233 --> 01:12:37,467
This is important.
This is critical.

1160
01:12:37,467 --> 01:12:38,900
This is about the long term.

1161
01:12:38,900 --> 01:12:41,333
And we've gotta get that
250 ounces going.

1162
01:12:41,333 --> 01:12:44,033
It's not just gonna
magically appear.

1163
01:12:44,033 --> 01:12:45,433
It's gonna be
a lot of work this summer,

1164
01:12:45,433 --> 01:12:48,166
but I think we're positioned
perfectly to pull it off.

1165
01:12:48,166 --> 01:12:49,467
The ground is awesome.

1166
01:12:49,467 --> 01:12:51,700
We just get the Bering Sea
to cooperate a little bit.

1167
01:12:51,700 --> 01:12:52,934
Yes.

1168
01:12:53,634 --> 01:12:55,634
Absolutely.

1169
01:12:55,634 --> 01:12:56,700
I'm feeling that.

1170
01:12:56,700 --> 01:12:57,967
Cool.

1171
01:12:59,867 --> 01:13:04,834
Back out
on the Bering Sea
as the storm creeps closer

1172
01:13:04,834 --> 01:13:07,467
one team is still
on the water.

1173
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:16,100
We're the only ones out here.

1174
01:13:16,100 --> 01:13:17,934
It's white capping
a little bit.

1175
01:13:17,934 --> 01:13:20,100
We got a strong wind
from the west.

1176
01:13:21,133 --> 01:13:22,834
It is picking up.

1177
01:13:24,033 --> 01:13:26,433
Get [bleep] off
on the horizon.

1178
01:13:26,433 --> 01:13:28,667
I'm just seeing nothing
but whitecaps,

1179
01:13:29,333 --> 01:13:31,734
and I'm gonna keep digging.

1180
01:13:33,634 --> 01:13:35,233
It's getting real dicey.

1181
01:13:35,233 --> 01:13:38,433
We're off to a late start
and I got a huge payment
coming up.

1182
01:13:39,266 --> 01:13:40,767
That's why
we're still out here.

1183
01:13:40,767 --> 01:13:43,433
Everyone else,
even precious Mr. Gold,

1184
01:13:43,433 --> 01:13:44,700
headed for cover.

1185
01:13:56,567 --> 01:13:59,133
Honestly, maybe
they were the smart ones.

1186
01:14:08,634 --> 01:14:12,200
Hey, let's just pack up
for the day.

1187
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:13,300
Let's go.

1188
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:16,166
Yes, we can.

1189
01:14:18,533 --> 01:14:21,667
So I really like
this location.

1190
01:14:21,667 --> 01:14:24,700
So we're gonna drop
the marker buoy.

1191
01:14:26,367 --> 01:14:28,333
Let's do this.

1192
01:14:28,333 --> 01:14:31,333
We're the last to go
back into the harbor.

1193
01:14:31,333 --> 01:14:33,500
Might as well just say

1194
01:14:33,500 --> 01:14:36,133
Everything tells me to go
home anyways.

1195
01:14:37,166 --> 01:14:38,266
I'm kind of pissed.

1196
01:14:38,266 --> 01:14:39,700
I don't like to be told
what to do,

1197
01:14:39,700 --> 01:14:42,233
but when three things
at once are telling
you what to do,

1198
01:14:42,233 --> 01:14:45,266
you gotta listen to someone.

1199
01:14:45,266 --> 01:14:48,600
Well, we got gold in the box
and everything is still
in one piece.

1200
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:49,800
Barely.

1201
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:52,967
As an owner,
I'm gonna chalk this up
to a huge win

1202
01:14:52,967 --> 01:14:54,600
and get the hell out of here.

1203
01:14:55,767 --> 01:14:57,066
We're gonna call it a day.

1204
01:14:57,066 --> 01:14:59,900
Do our clean out and see
actually what we got.

1205
01:14:59,900 --> 01:15:02,200
I hope to God
our cleanup is good.

1206
01:15:04,266 --> 01:15:06,300
We've gotta see some gold.

1207
01:15:17,367 --> 01:15:18,467
Thank you, dear.

1208
01:15:18,467 --> 01:15:20,266
You're welcome. Enjoy.

1209
01:15:25,066 --> 01:15:27,800
I'd like to check
in on social media
every now and then.

1210
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:30,367
I mean,
they're not all trolls.

1211
01:15:30,367 --> 01:15:35,700
And now
another episode
of Social Hour with Vernon.

1212
01:15:35,700 --> 01:15:38,734
Why is all that black stuff
in your goal after
you clean it?

1213
01:15:39,500 --> 01:15:41,367
I like it.
That is awesome.

1214
01:15:42,300 --> 01:15:44,634
Hey, people who buy gold,
they don't care.

1215
01:15:44,634 --> 01:15:45,700
They melt it down.

1216
01:15:45,700 --> 01:15:47,100
They... I'd say that
they refine it.

1217
01:15:47,100 --> 01:15:49,467
You know, if I got time,
I'll clean it really good.

1218
01:15:49,467 --> 01:15:52,133
If I'm in a hurry,
I don't clean it that
damn good.

1219
01:15:52,133 --> 01:15:54,100
I think that's as good
as we're gonna get.

1220
01:15:54,867 --> 01:15:56,333
Time for a beer.

1221
01:15:56,333 --> 01:15:59,734
The price is the same
either way,
but thanks for asking.

1222
01:15:59,734 --> 01:16:01,934
Let's see what else
is going on here.

1223
01:16:01,934 --> 01:16:04,600
It looks like Vernon
has a lots of gold,

1224
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:08,900
but that's only because
he leaves the iron
and stuff in with the gold

1225
01:16:08,900 --> 01:16:11,166
to increase the weight.

1226
01:16:11,166 --> 01:16:14,133
The people that buy
the gold [bleep] about that.

1227
01:16:14,133 --> 01:16:18,667
I mean, if we got time
we super clean the gold.

1228
01:16:18,667 --> 01:16:21,934
So it looks nice and pretty
for everybody out there.

1229
01:16:21,934 --> 01:16:25,200
But I guarantee you
the gold buyers they don't
give a crap about that.

1230
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:26,533
It doesn't matter.

1231
01:16:26,533 --> 01:16:27,900
Price is the same.

1232
01:16:27,900 --> 01:16:30,300
Our job is to get out there
and make gold.

1233
01:16:30,300 --> 01:16:33,266
And sometimes we got
other things to do besides
sit around

1234
01:16:33,266 --> 01:16:35,967
and pan gold and clean gold,
which takes hours.

1235
01:16:37,500 --> 01:16:41,233
This has been
another episode
of Social Hour with Vernon.

1236
01:16:41,233 --> 01:16:43,934
I mean,
they let the trolls run wild.

1237
01:17:06,667 --> 01:17:08,033
How's it looking?

1238
01:17:08,033 --> 01:17:10,400
Gold's looking good,
I can tell you that.

1239
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:11,634
I'm excited.

1240
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:14,133
Check it out.

1241
01:17:14,934 --> 01:17:16,734
Weigh that sucker up.

1242
01:17:19,300 --> 01:17:22,033
This is the first cleanup
of the season
for the Myrtle.

1243
01:17:22,033 --> 01:17:24,000
She's our heavy hitter
on the water.

1244
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:28,200
After doing the box check
I'm expecting a home run.

1245
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:30,634
I'm expecting to see
triple digits.

1246
01:17:30,634 --> 01:17:33,166
And we got Dave
in the stands cheering.

1247
01:17:33,166 --> 01:17:34,867
So the pressure is on.

1248
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:47,000
Ten, 20, 30, 40.

1249
01:17:49,900 --> 01:17:52,500
Forty-eight.

1250
01:17:52,500 --> 01:17:54,200
Forty-eight-nine.

1251
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:55,734
- Little light.
- Little light, huh?

1252
01:17:55,734 --> 01:17:56,834
Gotta get it.

1253
01:17:56,834 --> 01:18:00,133
Gotta do a little better
than that, Shawn.

1254
01:18:00,133 --> 01:18:07,133
48.9 ounces
is worth over $88,000,
far from Mr. Gold's hopes.

1255
01:18:07,133 --> 01:18:11,000
Yeah, 'cause that's, you know,
a little out over
an ounce an hour.

1256
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,533
We wanna be on three
to four ounces an hour easily.

1257
01:18:14,533 --> 01:18:15,767
We'll get there.
We'll get there.

1258
01:18:15,767 --> 01:18:19,066
We're gonna have
some big clean ups,
I guarantee you.

1259
01:18:20,767 --> 01:18:22,367
Yeah, I hope, it gets better.

1260
01:18:22,367 --> 01:18:24,667
I was hoping
we had a 100 in there.

1261
01:18:24,667 --> 01:18:28,934
And what I seen that box
lit up the way it was,
it's incredible.

1262
01:18:28,934 --> 01:18:31,166
Hopefully we can get
on a little better ground.

1263
01:18:31,166 --> 01:18:33,500
I think we need to move.

1264
01:18:33,500 --> 01:18:35,734
I don't know
why we come up so light.

1265
01:18:35,734 --> 01:18:37,734
Maybe I misjudged the ground.

1266
01:18:37,734 --> 01:18:39,033
I don't know.

1267
01:18:39,033 --> 01:18:40,634
But I do know one thing.

1268
01:18:40,634 --> 01:18:44,667
I'm aiming
for 3000 ounces this year,
and this ain't gonna cut it.

1269
01:18:44,667 --> 01:18:46,333
Not by a long shot.

1270
01:18:46,333 --> 01:18:50,567
Now, with this big storm
kicking us off the water,
it's only gonna get worse.

1271
01:18:50,567 --> 01:18:53,333
So I'm just gonna have
to push it harder.

1272
01:18:53,333 --> 01:18:54,800
We're gonna have
some big days.

1273
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:57,300
I'll tell you that, 'cause
I know there's some
pockets out there

1274
01:18:57,300 --> 01:19:00,166
that haven't been hit
and we'll...
we'll have 100...

1275
01:19:00,166 --> 01:19:01,900
100 ounce days.

1276
01:19:01,900 --> 01:19:04,300
Go get the dredge
ready to go again.

1277
01:19:04,300 --> 01:19:05,700
Go do it again.

1278
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:08,533
You got a lot of money
on the line.

1279
01:19:08,533 --> 01:19:10,033
We gotta get it going.

1280
01:19:10,033 --> 01:19:11,233
It'll pick up.

1281
01:19:15,634 --> 01:19:16,967
Across town.

1282
01:19:24,033 --> 01:19:27,367
So we're finishing up
our cleanup today
on the Mistress.

1283
01:19:27,367 --> 01:19:30,300
Gonna see exactly
how much gold we're on.

1284
01:19:31,734 --> 01:19:33,834
And I'm really hoping
for 30 ounces today.

1285
01:19:33,834 --> 01:19:35,500
That would make me
so [bleep] happy.

1286
01:19:36,867 --> 01:19:38,700
Please.
Pretty please.

1287
01:19:41,033 --> 01:19:42,967
This is a big day
for Reaper nation.

1288
01:19:42,967 --> 01:19:45,634
Maybe the most important
cleanout of my career.

1289
01:19:45,634 --> 01:19:48,900
It's the first cleanup
as an owner of my own operation.

1290
01:19:50,300 --> 01:19:51,734
I went for it this season.

1291
01:19:51,734 --> 01:19:53,400
To be on target
and make our payments,

1292
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:56,500
we need at least
20 ounces to make
everything happen today.

1293
01:19:56,500 --> 01:19:59,100
But honestly,
I'm hoping for more like 30.

1294
01:20:00,467 --> 01:20:03,233
We're seeing a lot
of gold move
into our little containers,

1295
01:20:03,233 --> 01:20:06,934
which is amazing 'cause
we need as much as we can get.

1296
01:20:06,934 --> 01:20:10,700
I'm nervous and excited
and waiting the anticipation

1297
01:20:10,700 --> 01:20:13,300
of the final, you know,
gold count.

1298
01:20:14,667 --> 01:20:16,433
Look, that area was hot.

1299
01:20:16,433 --> 01:20:17,634
Shawn was there, too.

1300
01:20:17,634 --> 01:20:19,100
We both fought over it.

1301
01:20:20,734 --> 01:20:22,834
A lot of blood, sweat
and tears went into this.

1302
01:20:22,834 --> 01:20:24,700
So that scale should
be loaded.

1303
01:20:24,700 --> 01:20:26,667
It better be.

1304
01:20:26,667 --> 01:20:28,500
Moment of truth.
Come on, baby.

1305
01:20:28,500 --> 01:20:30,000
Okay, here it is.

1306
01:20:45,367 --> 01:20:46,500
What do we got?

1307
01:20:49,066 --> 01:20:51,033
Ten-point-four
seven ounces.

1308
01:20:52,967 --> 01:20:54,266
Damn.

1309
01:20:55,333 --> 01:20:56,700
This is tough.

1310
01:20:57,300 --> 01:20:58,667
Man, it's terrible.

1311
01:21:00,734 --> 01:21:03,800
This all is worth
about 18 grand.

1312
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:07,100
For a suction dredge,
not bad.

1313
01:21:07,100 --> 01:21:11,567
But for Kris and his excavator
barge, not good.

1314
01:21:14,767 --> 01:21:18,867
Which is a kick in the nuts
'cause that was like
a little under

1315
01:21:18,867 --> 01:21:19,934
quarter ounce an hour.

1316
01:21:19,934 --> 01:21:21,400
So quarter once an hour.

1317
01:21:22,133 --> 01:21:23,600
And it's unacceptable.

1318
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:28,200
I get that working my age,
you know, I get better
than that.

1319
01:21:31,066 --> 01:21:32,834
I know... I know
you're getting worried.

1320
01:21:32,834 --> 01:21:34,567
I'm getting worried, too.

1321
01:21:34,567 --> 01:21:37,867
The test pans are just
flawed obviously.

1322
01:21:37,867 --> 01:21:41,033
You know, my problem
is I'm not underneath
the water seeing the gold,

1323
01:21:41,033 --> 01:21:43,367
so I don't have
have any clue what we're on.

1324
01:21:45,433 --> 01:21:48,867
So look, running
an excavation barge,
running with the big dogs,

1325
01:21:48,867 --> 01:21:50,367
I thought it was gonna
be easier.

1326
01:21:50,367 --> 01:21:51,500
It wasn't.

1327
01:21:51,500 --> 01:21:53,600
Like I'm stressed
beyond belief.

1328
01:21:55,133 --> 01:21:58,367
I may barely be able
to stay above water
this summer.

1329
01:21:58,367 --> 01:22:00,467
We'll see.

1330
01:22:00,467 --> 01:22:04,734
All I can do is dust myself
off and have faith that
it's gonna get better.

1331
01:22:04,734 --> 01:22:06,333
Like immediately.

1332
01:22:06,333 --> 01:22:08,000
Little bummed out
after that.

1333
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:09,133
I'm a little bummed, too.

1334
01:22:09,133 --> 01:22:11,066
But, you know,
it's a new operation.

1335
01:22:11,066 --> 01:22:12,567
We're learning, Kris.

1336
01:22:12,567 --> 01:22:15,200
I'm not... not throwing
my hands up and saying,
"I give up." You know?

1337
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:18,000
No. I'm just saying, look,
you know, literally my...

1338
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:20,700
my six inch operation
gets more gold in this
thing right now.

1339
01:22:20,700 --> 01:22:22,033
This is really...
this is embarrassing.

1340
01:22:22,033 --> 01:22:23,400
Yeah,
this is embarrassing.

1341
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:25,066
We gotta turn this around.

1342
01:22:25,066 --> 01:22:26,266
It'll get better.

1343
01:22:26,266 --> 01:22:27,667
- Yep.
- It'll get better.

1344
01:22:27,667 --> 01:22:29,166
I'm hoping.
It can't get any worse.

1345
01:22:32,367 --> 01:22:36,700
Shawn takes
the early lead,
but it's still anyone's game.

1346
01:22:41,233 --> 01:22:43,867
Next dive
on Bering Sea Gold...

1347
01:22:43,867 --> 01:22:45,934
Then giant storm
surge coming.

1348
01:22:45,934 --> 01:22:47,266
It's like...

1349
01:22:47,266 --> 01:22:50,000
We gotta really take
advantage of this good
weather window.

1350
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,867
We're gonna send Rick down
and kind of see what
we're working with.

1351
01:22:52,867 --> 01:22:55,033
We're going into a bad
weather situation,

1352
01:22:55,033 --> 01:22:57,533
but I know the boat
can handle it.

1353
01:22:57,533 --> 01:23:00,500
It's a last bridge
on the Cougar Rock Road.

1354
01:23:00,500 --> 01:23:01,767
You should have said

1355
01:23:01,767 --> 01:23:03,233
That take on your life
and your ass.

1356
01:23:03,233 --> 01:23:04,500
Ready to go.

1357
01:23:04,500 --> 01:23:06,734
He's tried to do this
before with girlfriends
I think.

1358
01:23:06,734 --> 01:23:08,066
It didn't work out.

1359
01:23:08,700 --> 01:23:09,934
Tenhoff.

1360
01:23:09,934 --> 01:23:13,867
Pretty excited to see
what these rocks
and those got here.

1361
01:23:13,867 --> 01:23:16,967
We're gonna end up
snapping its spud cable.

1362
01:23:16,967 --> 01:23:18,600
What [bleep] We're spinning.

1363
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:20,166
We gotta get out of here.

1364
01:23:20,166 --> 01:23:21,567
We're on
the right track.

1365
01:23:21,567 --> 01:23:23,100
The gold is just
unbelievably hot.

1366
01:23:27,900 --> 01:23:29,467
Yeah, baby!
